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 shows why Burroughs is a writer
unlike any other, able to make captivating the explicit and
horrific.
