Query: Old news

This book was seems to have been written solely to shock the "squares" (to use Burroughs' dated lingo from his dated book). Maybe it once did, but it's old news now. It's not even erotic. It made me yawn.A book that has aged better is "Journey to the End of the Night" by Celine. Read that instead.
