The Western LandsPaperback, 7 December 1988

The Western Land is legendary Beat writer William S. Burrough's profound, revealing, and often astonishing meditation on morality, loneliness, life, and death -- a Book of the Dead for the nuclear age.

Burrough's visionary power, his comic genius, and his unerring ability to crack the codes that make up the life of this century are undimished. -- J.G. Ballard, Washington Post Book World
