“Junk” book today
• Today, Junk is still widely read by teenagers
and also adults.This book about drugs and drug
culture is seen as being enpowering thing,
encouraging people to think for themselves,
rather than encouraging them to take drugs, as
its critics still sometimes try to make out.
About the book

teenagers who fall into heroin addiction. The book
falls into two halves - the first part, where the main
characters, Tar and Gemma, leave home and move
to Bristol, and the second part, where Tar and Gemma
become addicted to heroin. Tar loves Gemma.
Gemma is just in love with being in love. Tar thinks
that Gemma is the only person who has ever loved
him.
