The subject of this article is William Burroughs’s first work, Junky ([1953] 2003. London: Penguin). In particular, the relationship within it between experience and representation, text and biography, author and narrator are discussed, as are questions of genre and relevant structural elements. Of particular interest is the construction of the narrator, William Lee, in relation to the author, and as a figure manifesting Burroughs’s subcultural journey into addiction, and the meanings it takes in the text. Through Lee’s narrative, but also through the unavoidable reading of this text through the prism of Burroughs’s later subcultural fame, the real and fictional events depicted in Junky, and the mode of their representation, constitute a comment on Burroughs’s lifelong literary concerns and artistic outlook.

终末成瘾的第一人称书：威廉·巴勒斯的垃圾

本文的主题是 William Burroughs 的第一部作品 Junky ([1953] 2003. London: Penguin)。特别讨论了其中的经验与表现、文本与传记、作者与叙述者之间的关系，以及体裁和相关结构元素的问题。特别令人感兴趣的是叙述者威廉·李与作者的关系，以及作为体现巴勒斯亚文化成瘾之旅的人物，以及它在文本中的意义。通过李的叙述，也通过巴勒斯后来的亚文化名声对本文的不可避免的阅读，《垃圾》中所描绘的真实和虚构的事件及其表现方式，构成了对巴勒斯毕生的文学关注和艺术观的评论。
