Product Description
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 Carson, 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 William Burroughs'' exploration of society''s controlling forces - the State, the Church, women, literature, drugs - with a style that is utterly unique in twentieth-century literature.
