In his extraordinary film adaptation of William Burroughs's novel Naked Lunch, David Cronenberg takes up Burroughs's radical ideas about writing and explores them cinematically. With special attention to the problem of symbolization and its relation to the body and the unconscious, this essay expands, from a psychoanalytic point of view, on what Cronenberg seems to be trying to do with Burroughs in the film.
