Inhalt
In this funny, nightmarish masterpiece of imaginative excess, grotesque characters engage in acts of violent one-upmanship, boundless riches mangle a corner of Africa into a Bacchanalian utopia, and technology, flesh and violence fuse with and undo each other. A fragmentary, freewheeling novel, it sees wild boys engage in vigorous, ritualistic sex and drug taking, as well as pranksterish guerrilla warfare and open combat with a confused and outmatched army. »The Wild Boys« introduces new themes in Burroughs' work: the struggle to escape the mechanisms of social control, the search for transcendence of the biological trap of duality, and the narrator's intention to rewrite his own past. It shows why Burroughs is a writer unlike any other, able to make captivating the explicit and horrific.
