About this title

Synopsis

William Seward Hall, who writes westerns under the name of Kim Carsons--a man with a mission to reorganize Earth into a more meaningful world--takes part in a shoot-out in the Boulder, Colorado, cemetery

Review

‘In the English language, William Burroughs is the greatest writer alive. His imagination has tackled head-on the post-war world, with its huge bureaucracies and sinister complexes. He has a paranoid vision, but as he himself said: the psychotic is someone who knows what’s really going on.’ JG Ballard, Sunday Times

‘“The Place of Dead Roads” is Burroughs at his very best, with the same remarkable ear for dialogue and effortless originality.’ Guardian
