Synopsis

Naked Lunch (sometimes referred to as The Naked Lunch) is a novel by William S. Burroughs originally published in 1959. The book was originally published with the title The Naked Lunch in Paris in 1959 by Olympia Press. An American edition by Grove Press followed soon after in 1962. The American edition was titled Naked Lunch and was substantially different from the Olympia Press edition, because it was based on an earlier 1958 manuscript in Allen Ginsberg's possession.

About 2nd Impression Books

2nd Impression Books is an online only store simply because, as a gentleman in New York phrased it a while back, "The Rent is Too Damn High!". Eventually, all 2,000+ titles will make their way on to the site. While we don't specialize in one particular area, unless you count what intrigues us as an area, you will find a good amount of books into film, modern first editions, selected children's books and sports sprinkled in among many others. We appreciate your patience, and hope you check back often.
