Synopsis "The Western Lands "

A fascinating mix of autobiographical episodes and extraordinary Egyptian theology, Burroughs's final novel is poignant and melancholic. Blending war films and pornography, and referencing Kafka and Mailer, The Western Lands confirms his status as one of America's greatest writers. The final novel of the trilogy containing Cities of the Red Night and The Place of Dead Roads, this is a profound meditation on morality, loneliness, life and death.

William Seward Burroughs (1914-1997) is a legendary figure in American literature of this century, a writer compared to Villon, Rimbaud, and Genet. Both his life and work, characterized by total pessimism and a grim sense of humor, reflect an attitude of permanent rebellion against conventional society. Homosexual, drug addict for many years, friend and idol of Kerouac and Ginsberg, he is considered the great "guru" of the beat generation, despite his refusal to be included in it.
