Description

Cities of the Red Night is a poetic and shocking tale of sex, drugs, disease and adventure, sharply satirizing modern society. The novel weaves together four disparate stories: an opium addict lost in the jungle, young men waging war against an empire of mutants, a handsome young pirate facing his execution, and a world ravaged by a radioactive epidemic.

William Burroughs' unique blend of poetry and prose creates a world of mayhem and chaos, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy are blurred. This first novel in the trilogy, followed by The Place of Dead Roads and The Western Lands, is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in experimental fiction and the darker side of human nature.
