Cain's Book

Written in America while Trocchi was working on a scow on the Hudson River, Cain''s Book is an extraordinary autobiographical account about a junky''s life, and an honest, raunchy, eye-opening trip through hell. Probably the most famous novel about drug addiction and the hazards and excitements of an addict''s life after Burrough''s Naked Lunch, this modern classic - which was prosecuted in Britain for obscenity in 1965 - still shocks in its frankness and is relevant to this day.>
