À propos de cet audio

Here is the final novel of Burroughs' Red Night trilogy, available in audio for the first time.

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

Admittedly I haven't read the first two books. I bought it because I heard Burroughs read excerpts re: the seven souls and was hoping to hear him extrapolate on this and Egyptian mythology a bit... which he does only slightly and intermittently, with long stretches of rambling narrative in between. Disappointing.

Not what I was expecting

This is a great reading of Burroughs' last novel. The narrator makes this final spiritual text come alive, and the imagery, invocation and desperate plea of a dying man are palpable and haunting. Recommended.
