Two of my favorite passages in Naked Lunch are "Dr. Benway Operates" and "The Man Who Taught His Asshole to Talk." But my favorite description of the book comes from William S. Burroughs's explanation of the title.
"The title" -- which Burroughs credited to Jack Kerouac -- "means exactly what the words say: naked lunch, a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of every fork."
