CAIN’S BOOK is one of the most celebrated novels of the sixties, and after Burroughs’s NAKED LUNCH, probably the most famous and compelling book about drug addiction and the hazards and excitements of an addict’s life. Trocchi left Glasgow University with the honours of a brilliant philosophy scholar, founded Merlin, an outstanding literary magazine in Paris, wrote novels for Olympia Press, experimented with heroin and became hooked. In America, working on a Hudson River scow, he wrote this extraordinary autobiographical novel about a junky’s life, an honest, raunchy, eye-opening trip through hell, a sixties bestseller that underwent prosecution in Britain in 1964, but is now a modern classic, published in many languages.
