Eh, definitely a great premise, but I feel like old Bill Burroughs just doesn't pull it off this time around. Really in the end, the whole thing just seems like a mess. Don't get me wrong -- I don't have a problem with the fact that there is a non-linear storyline, or that almost all of the characters are homosexual drug addicts. It's just that all of those elements are also at the forefront of the second novel of the same trilogy (Place of the Dead Roads), and that instance I feels like he succeeds remarkably in a similarly ambitious experiment. Still, there is some great writing here...Burroughs is naturally talented enough to just blow you away with even the most fragmented ideas and passages. I think if this novel were arranged differently, and had some stuff added and subtracted, we might really have a great work on our hands. It is perhaps worth reading just to see on paper Burroughs' and Brion Gysin's theory on the origins of the white race (that it was an albino hybrid race which mutated out of an explosion or meteor blast in the Gobi desert back in ancient times). ***update, 8/2008: I'm changing my review from two to four stars after I thought about it some more. I was way too harsh in my first response and actually this, like any other Burroughs, is some of the best shit out there. Thanks to all the Goodreads members who popped in to rattle me cage a bit on this one!***
