Queer is an early short novel (written between 1951 and 1953, published in 1985) by William S. Burroughs. It is partially a sequel to his earlier novel, Junkie, which ends with the stated ambition of finding a drug called yage. Queer, although not devoted to that quest, does include a trip to Latin America looking for the substance.
