* HardToAdaptWork: Creator/WilliamSBurroughs considered the book to be this, being deliberately incomprehensible, disturbing, and having nothing in the way of overarching plot. As such, when he allowed Creator/DavidCronenberg to adapt it into ''Film/NakedLunch'', the latter compromised by crafting a new story that incorporates many themes from Burroughs overall work. While still pretty MindScrew-y, it's much less so than the book.
