:''See Junk (novel) for the book of similar title by Melvin Burgess.''
''Junkie: Confessions of an Unredeemed Drug Addict'' (originally titled ''Junk'', later released as ''Junky'') is a novel by American beat generation writer William S. Burroughs, published initially under the pseudonym William Lee in 1953. His first published work, it is semi-autobiographical and focuses on Burroughs' life as a drug user and dealer. It has come to be considered a seminal text on the lifestyle of heroin addicts in the early 1950s.
==Inspiration==
The novel was considered unpublishable more than it was controversial. Burroughs began it largely at the request and insistence of Allen Ginsberg, who was impressed by Burroughs’s letter-writing skill. Burroughs took up the task with little enthusiasm. However, partly because he saw that becoming a publishable writer was possible (his friend Jack Kerouac had published his first novel ''The Town and the City'' in 1950), he began to compile his experiences as an addict, ‘lush roller’ and small-time Greenwich Village heroin pusher.
Although long considered Burroughs' first novel, he had in fact several years earlier completed a manuscript called ''And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks'' with Kerouac, but this work would remain unpublished in its entirety until 2008.
