I think his best work is the Western Lands trilogy:
Cities of the Red Night,
The Western Lands, and
The Place of Dead Roads. The earlier stuff like Junky and Exterminator is all kind of a lead-up to
Naked Lunch, which is wonderful. Post N.L. are a few interesting but not particularly readable cut-up experiments (
Nova Express,
Ticket that Exploded).
'bay'? do you mean my Location tag 'the souf bay'? its just the South (San Francisco) Bay Area, spoken with a lisp
