Cities of the Red Night

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): William S. Burroughs

An opium addict is lost in the jungle; young men wage war against an empire of mutants; a handsome young pirate faces his execution; and the world's population is infected with a radioactive epidemic. These stories are woven together in a single tale of mayhem and chaos. In the first novel of the trilogy continued in The Place of Dead Roads and The Western Lands, William Burroughs sharply satirizes modern society in a poetic and shocking story of sex, drugs, disease and adventure.

About William S. Burroughs

William S. Burroughs was born on February 5 1914 in St Louis. In work and in life Burroughs expressed a lifelong subversion of the morality politics and economics of modern America. To escape those conditions and in particular his treatment as a homosexual and a drug-user Burroughs left his homeland in 1950 and soon after began writing. By the time of his death he was widely recognised as one of the most politically trenchant culturally influential and innovative artists of the twentieth century. His numerous books include Naked Lunch Junky Queer Nova Express Interzone The Wild Boys The Ticket That Exploded and The Soft Machine. After living in Mexico City Tangier Paris and London Burroughs finally returned to America in 1974. He died in 1997.
