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.
