Cities Of the Red Night
by Burroughs, William S
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.
