Here is finally William Burroughs' Magnum Opus, his first "true" novel since the Naked Feast some twenty years ago; true in the sense of a continuous discourse from the beginning to the end of the book, narrated in three interlocking and intersecting stories: a story of libertarian pirates who establish Utopia in a re-conquered America, the story of the private detective Clem Snide in search of young people cut into pieces for human transplantation, and the story of the six scarlet cities whose magical names contain the secret of travel in time and space.
