Produktbeschreibung
The ghostly adventures of William S. Burroughs and his old Beat comrades as they haunt the alleyways and tunnels of contemporary Tangier in a wild search for a lost and virulent manuscript. ¿ William S. Burroughs is dead and buried, but he can find no rest. His ghost is roaming the backstreets of Tangier in search of a missing manuscript. During his chaotic years there in the 1950s, Burroughs not only wrote Naked Lunch, he also spewed out a mass of much darker material he then lost-hundreds of pages in which he wrestled with his demons. He fears his longtime nemesis, the Ugly Spirit, has been lurking in those pages ever since-and is now emerging from its slumber. To help him find and destroy the infected manuscript before the Ugly Spirit can spread its evil in the world, Burroughs enlists fellow ghosts and old Tangier pros Paul Bowles and Brion Gysin, Joseph Dean and Brian Jones, as well as an inept witch, an elderly sorcerer, and a gang of macaque monkeys. Their many adventures-often comic, sometimes ghastly-involve vanishing corpses, a magic carpet, giant black centipedes-and a word virus about to go pandemic.
