London, England: Sphere Books Limited, 1971. First British Edition Thus. Softcover. “SPEED is the autobiographical novel of William Burroughs Jr’s methedrine inspired Odyssey through New York’s asphalt jungle. With painful candor he explores the horizons of the speed freak’s world- hustling for dope and money, harassed by the police, crashing in overcrowded, garbage strewn pads, and guiding his paranoid needle-brother Chad through the dangerous city streets. Totally stripped of remorse, self pity or sentiment, SPEED is a milestone in the younger generation’s alienation from middle class society and its values.”
