Reply #5: What you want to do is cut it up, and then put it back together in

either a random order, or an order of your own selection, read that and call it Naked Lunch. I am not joking. The Gysin Cut Up Method was the way the book was written. The events are non linear, and could be read in any order....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-up
The thing is a set of 'turns' or 'routines'. The main character, the narrator Bill Lee, uses different names at different times in the book.
The book should come with scissors and an electric fan to blow the bits around, to be reconstructed into the Naked Lunch you like best....it is the American Plan at the Beat Hotel.
I recommend reading the last part next, at very least, and also forgetting about any notion of order or through line in the ordinary sense.
His book Junky is much more direct reading. Wild Boys and Nova Express my favorites.
