Burroughs, William: Cities Of The Red Night. 28673
John Calder: London. 1981.
First British edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
''While young men wage war against an evil empire of zealous mutants, the population of this modern inferno is afflicted with the epidemic of a radioactive virus. An opium-infused apocalyptic vision from the legendary author of Naked Lunch is the first of the trilogy with The Places of the Dead Roads and his final novel, The Western Plains''. In Pringle, Modern Fantasy: The Hundred Best Novels #75. Uncommon.
''much concerned with the abuses of power, Burroughs uses addiction as an all-embracing metaphor for the ways in which our lives are controlled. He has also brought into luridly exemplary perspective many sf metaphors; e.g., the ''Nova Mob'', galactic gangsters who are taking over our planet. Images of space travel and ''biomorphic horror'' (J.G. Ballard's phrase) abound. Later work has retained the corrosiveness of the worldview, but in narrations that verge, with some irony, towards the conventional. Port of Saints (1973 Switzerland; rev 1980 US), CITIES OF THE RED NIGHT(1981) and The Place of Dead Roads (1984) can together be thought of as a kind of trilogy in which the genres of the West miscegenate, breed, and descry the road ahead'' (David Pringle & John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
Top of page edges lightly browned and show faint spotting, else a fine copy in an almost fine dustjacket with some spine fade (brown to grey: not affecting lettering). With review slip.
