Junkie, William Lee [William S. Burroughs] 

First edition of William S. Burroughs' first published novel, written under the pen name of "William Lee." A semi-autobiographical memoir, the book focuses on life as an addict and small-time heroin pusher. Lucid and somewhat straightforward compared to Burroughs' later works, the grotesque descriptions and hallucination imagery are also seen as precursors to his later work. Bound dos-a-dos with Maurice Helbrant's Narcotic Agent. 

New York: Ace Books, 1953. Publisher's original pictorial wraps; pp. 149, [2]; 169. In good condition, wraps showing shelfwear and rubbing, creasing to covers and spine. Narcotic Agent cover a touch misaligned. A few light dampstains to a handful of page corners, else internally clean. Scarce.
