Description: Burroughs' last novel published before his death in 1997, a compilation of his dreams over the decades. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Most of the dreams are concerned with mundane affairs: talking to his friends Ian Sommerville, Allen Ginsberg and Brion Gysin; protecting his cats; trying to get sex, drugs or something to eat. There are flying dreams, erotic suitcase-packing dreams, dreams of being bullied by men in uniforms. There are references to strange drugs such as "Jade" and "Bogomolets Anti-Human Serum 125." In addition, there are other segments which seem unconcerned with dreams at all, such as a chapter where Burroughs instructs the reader on how to create botulism. There is a place he refers to as the Land of the Dead, which, like Interzone, seems to be a conglomeration of many cities: Tangiers, London, Paris, and others. --------- New old stock, just taken out of decades of storage in a lightproof drawer in a nonsmoking home. No writing, bends folds, tears, or other issues.
