Chapter 1-9 Pages 3-69

Since I couldn't find any books other than Naked Lunch I am reading this book first while I find the others. So far I am on chapter 9 and have no idea on what the book is about. It is very wild writing and very confusing at times. I understand that it seems to be about different junkies living in this totalitarian government, I'm not really sure. The only chapter I really understood was 4 when it talked about this man being shown this psyche ward were junkies were kept and being tested on. A few chapters are just blurbs of someone shooting up or explaining what each drug does to the brain to make the person addicted. Its a pretty over whelming book and I can only read a little bit at a time because when I end a chapter I realize that I don't know what is going on, and have to re-read everything. The chapter I am on currently is all about gay sex with young boys and I am confused on the point of it. I think to understand what it is going on I am going to have to research the book and try to find someone analyzing each chapter.
