About This Item
Burroughs uses a shoot-out in the Wild West of the 1890s to launch a trip through space and time, speeding up and slowing down like a movie director.
Hardcover with jacket.
Synopsis
The Place of Dead Roads by William S. Burroughs, published in 1983, is the second book of the trilogy that begins with Cities of the Red Night and concludes with The Western Lands. It chronicles the story of a homosexual gunfighter in the American West. In convoluted fashion it begins with the gunfighter’s death in 1899, incorporates contrasting themes and time travel episodes, and makes use of Burroughs’ love for and extensive knowledge of firearms.
