BURROUGHS jnr, William. Speed.

(London): Sphere Books Limited, 1971. First UK paperback edition. Softcover. 17.8 by 10.7cm. 191 pages. Burroughs Jr.’s first and only novel, a semi-autobiographical account of methamphetamine addiction and the author’s descent into the drug culture of New York and Florida. Written with a stark, unsentimental candour, the novel is particularly notable for the author’s connection to William S. Burroughs. A near fine copy in wrappers. A nice copy.
