""Depicts the addict's life: his hallucinations, his ghostly nocturnal wanderings, his strange sexuality, and his hunger for the needle."--Back cover."
"Le premier roman de Burroughs éclaire toute son oeuvre à venir. Le présent ouvrage est fabriqué de la réalité la plus crue, celle d'un héroïnomane en errance. Le manque et les techniques pour y échapper, la prison et la fuite sont racontés à la première personne et laissent percer des remarques acérées et sarcastiques sur l'Amérique des années cinquante. Pour Burroughs, c'est elle, non pas la drogue, qui façonne le modèle du toxicomane. Ce zombie n'a plus en effet d'existence que celle qu'on lui prête. Le lecteur doit alors choisir : se faire contempteur ou accompagner William Lee, double romanesque de Burroughs, dans son expérience des strates toxiques et sociales. Ce faisant, on apprend que 'si la came disparaissait de la surface de la Terre, il resterait sans doute des camés errant encore dans les quartiers à came, éprouvant un manque vague et tenace, pâle fantôme de la maladie du sevrage'. (Editore)."
