Description: The Yage Letters, William S. Burroughs & Allen Ginsberg First edition, first printing. The Yage Letters contain the correspondence between Burroughs and Ginsberg, as the former ventured to the Amazon rainforest in search of yagé (ayahuasca), a plant with near-mythical hallucinogenic and some say telepathic qualities. In addition to their correspondence, which contain the seeds of Burroughs' Naked Lunch, the book is also noteworthy for containing his "Roosevelt After Inauguration" and "I Am Dying, Meester?", an early example of the cut-up technique.
