{"product_id":"queer","title":"Queer","description":"Originally written in 1952 but not published till 1985, \u003ci\u003eQueer\u003c\/i\u003e is an enigma - both an unflinching autobiographical self-portrait and a coruscatingly political novel, Burroughs' only realist love story and a montage of comic-grotesque fantasies that paved the way for his masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eNaked Lunch\u003c\/i\u003e. Set in Mexico City during the early fifties, \u003ci\u003eQueer\u003c\/i\u003e follows William Lee's hopeless pursuit of desire from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene. As Lee breaks down, the trademark Burroughsian voice emerges; a maniacal mix of self-lacerating humor and the Ugly American at his ugliest. A haunting tale of possession and exorcism, \u003ci\u003eQueer\u003c\/i\u003e is also a novel with a history of secrets, as this new edition reveals.","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44344358535365,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-0-14-118991-8.jpg?v=1739488705","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/queer","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
