Review:

"It's a comedy . . . a nightmare . . . Bosch-like visions, extraordinarily precise vivid visualizations . . . outrageous ideas like mind bombs." --Allen Ginsberg

"Powerful . . . a raging torrent of words and images . . . Burroughs, like Dalí, first draws from his insanity, then selects with reason. And what a master of the mother tongue he is--sculpted sentences, poetic prose, riffs that make you gasp in amazement . . . More accessible and murkily poetic than ever." --Los Angeles Times Book Review

"One of the wildest rides into the Wild West, and other parts known and unknown, we will ever have." --The Washington Post Book World

"A moving personal saga as well as a record of revolutionary vision." --Chicago Tribune Book World

From the Back Cover:

'Drawing your gun should be an easy flowing, casual movement, like handing someone a pen, passing the salt, conveying a benediction.'

In this brilliant but surreal fable, William Burroughs continued his ruthless exploration of society's controlling forces – the State, the Church, literature, drugs – in his inimitable and utterly unique style.

‘“The Place of Dead Roads” is Burroughs’ personal gunfight at the OK Corral and features a cast of notorious characters who set out to challenge the morality of small town America.’ Tribune

‘The hard man of Hip...All his energy went into a battle with the agents of “control” – the thought police.’ Guardian
