    <body><![CDATA[Here's the thing that puzzles me about this book:  why was it not published until 1985 while the far, far more offensive <em>Naked Lunch</em> was published (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_Lunch#Literary_significance_and_reception"><strong>not without obstacles mind you</strong></a>) in 1959?
