Publisher's Summary:
From the beat generation and counterculture author William S. Burroughs comes the second novel of the Red Night trilogy, available in audio for the first time.
This surreal fable, set in America's Old West, features a cast of notorious characters: the Crying Gun, who breaks into tears at the sight of his opponent; the Priest, who goes into gunfights giving his adversaries the last rites; and the Nihilistic Kid himself, Kim Carsons, a homosexual gunslinger who, with a succession of beautiful sidekicks, sets out to challenge the morality of small-town America and fight for intergalactic freedom.
Fantastical and humorous, The Place of Dead Roads continues Burroughs' exploration of society's controlling forces - the state, the church, women, literature, drugs - with a style that is utterly unique in 20th-century literature.

EXTERMINATE ALL RATIONAL THOUGHT AND JOURNEY THROUGH TIME AND SPACE WHERE EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE! EXTERMINATE ALL RATIONAL THOUGHT AND JOURNEY THROUGH TIME AND SPACE WHERE EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED. The western lands is my favorite book by WILLIAM S BURROUGHS and this is the second installment in his trilogy series( starting with CITIES OF THE RED NIGHT and ending with WESTERN LANDS). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AMAZING NOVEL TO NEW AND OLD BUROUGHS READERS.
The Place of Dead Roads
This particular work of William S Burrough, in conjunction with all his previous works, acts as a key to a lost codex of the infinite. In other works of his, notably the cut-up trilogy, i found myself at a loss at times, allowing the text to be read and then reabsorbed as an intoned image of the Burroughs mind and intention. In The Place of Dead Roads very little code cracking is necessary for understanding the text while providing insight to his other works in a depth and dimension that didn't exist to me before. He reveals his influence in stride along with the tale of many of his alter-egos. His true will and heart are imbedded page after page, revealing a man looking back over his life, the places of dead roads, as well as looking forward to the final transition of life... death... and immortality. Leading into his final novel The western lands. This is not a book for just anyone as the text states in it's self, it is meant for those who are looking for it. I hope in time we all find this classic piece of work.
Five Stars
Can't go wrong with ol' Bill. A must read for Burroughs fans.
Burroughs is a master of allegory
Burroughs is a master of allegory. His rich imagery and mysticism are unequaled. Be prepared to let your mind wander and be open to new ways to tell stories basic to who we are.
