About This Item
"Cities of the Red Night is not only Burroughs' best work, but a logical and ripening extension of all of his great work..." claims Ken Kesey of this culmination of ten years writing.
Burroughs re-imagines vast swathes of American history, incorporating many characters from his previous visions, as he celebrates his return to living in New York City.
Hardcover. Slight fading to jacket spine.
Synopsis
Cities of the Red Night is a novel by William S. Burroughs. It was the first book in the final trilogy of the beat author, and was first published in 1981. This was his first full-length novel since The Wild Boys a decade earlier. It is the first in a trilogy and is followed by The Place of Dead Roads and The Western Lands. The plot of this somewhat disjunctive work revolves around a group of revolutionaries who seek the freedom to live under the articles set out by Captain James Mission.
