Burroughs, William S. Cities Of The Red Night
New York, NY, U.S.A. Holt, Rinehart and Winston 1981 0-03-053976-5 / 9780030539763 First Printing after Limited Edition Hard Cover Good Good
Tan paper on boards, peach color cloth on spine. 332 pp. Volume is worn all edges, top corner tips broken, some fading to edges, erasure mark on fep. Jacket is worn, torn, chipped and front foldover creased. Now in clear cover. "Cities of the Red Night is without doubt William S. Burroughs' magnum opus. Readers here will find many of Burroughs' characters from other books: Dr. Benway, Audrey Carsons, Clem Snide the private asshole, and the Wild Boys, along with a host of new characters. However at the center of the novel is an early eighteenth-century pirate, Captain Mission. Almost a century before the French and the American revolutions, he preached among other things complete equality; the abolition of slavery, torture, and the death penalty; freedom of religion, and an end to tyranny. He founded a colony called Libertatia, on the coast of Madagascar. The colony was overwhelmed by natives suborned by British Intelligence agents and Mission was killed shortly thereafter. But what if Mission had survived? Using this as his basic premise, Burroughs rewrites history. Satirist, visionary, moralist, William S. Burroughs has written a book whose force, devastating humor, and apocalyptic concerns blow a hole both in the fabric of reality and time."
