On pourrait voir dans "Le festin nu" une similitude avec "Le Maître et Marguerite" de Boulgakov. Ces deux œuvres subversives, n'ayant apparemment aucun point commun, ont toutes deux le même sujet : montrer la réalité politique, ce qui a suscité la censure (même si, dans le cas des censeurs américains, le motif invoqué était l’érotisme et les perversions).

"I studied neurology under Professor Fingerbottom in Vienna...and he knew every nerve in your body. Magnificent old thing...Came to a sticky end... His falling piles blew out the Duc de Ventre's Hispano Suiza and wrapped around the rear wheel. He was completely gutted, leaving an empty shell sitting there on the giraffe skin upholstery.... Even the eyes and brain went with a horrible schlupping sound. The Duc de Ventre says he will carry that ghastly schlup to his mausoleum."

Fun fact: The ... edition ... published by France’s Olympia Press, misprinted the title. Burroughs had always intended to call the book simply Naked Lunch, but his editors added the article. The error was corrected in the first, 1962 American edition, but some later printings still included “the” in the title. http://flavorwire.com/231804/classic-...
