Cities of the red night

The world ends with a bang -- and a barely perceived whimper, disguised by the wicked smile of one of the most dazzling magicians of our time. It is a sardonic statement of the apocalyptic vision through Burroughs's mordant satire of cultural aspirations, homosexual eroticism and political power.

  • "Clem Snide, a private detective, has to solve a case of ritual murder. In the Gobi Desert 100,000 years ago, a red virus has erupted. And in the 18th century, gay pirates have set up their own republics in South America and are at war with the conquistadors. All three stories are merged at the end in a giant trans-time, trans-space battle."@en
  • "Depuis le ##Festin nu## (Gallimard, traduction française, 1964) Burroughs n'avait pas écrit de "vrai" roman. Dans la présente oeuvre en trois volets, difficile à résumer, il aborde successivement (ou simultanément) les genres suivants: fiction politique, utopie, fantastique et policier. Ce "beau livre de fou furieux" (Stauridès) est destiné aux amateurs de pornographie apocalyptique, d'opéras de décomposition (sodomie, drogue, "fièvre de la pendaison", etc.), aux inconditionnels du "Buster Keaton de la beat generation" (Timoty Leary). A notre sens, ces paroxysmes constituent de très américains exercices de style."
