Book Reviews of Cities of the Red Night.
Book Review: Sex, Violence & Time Travel
Summary: 4 Stars
William Burroughs creates the world he wants to live in... where sodomy and illicit drugs are plentiful, too say the least, and reality exists only in your beliefs. Composed of seemingly unrelated story lines (no spoilers here), one plot surrounding the violent takeover of Spanish territory by a cult of young renegade pirates, another centered on a Noir-esque globetrotting Private Eye and his... assistant... investigating a young boy murdered in a mysterious ritualistic manner involving hanging and, well, ejaculation. Throw in an inexplicable plague-like disease, time travel, gay sex and Burrough's patented deadpan narrative, you've got yourself an epic. This is what happens when Beats read history books strung out.
