PRAISE FOR THE WESTERN LANDS : "Among his most important books." -- The New York Times (1997) "...seems like nothing else being published in the United States today..." - - The New York Times (1988) "The trilogy that began with Cities of the Red Night and continued with The Place of Dead Roads is completed here, and the result is a divine comedy ...a remarkable achievement ...concerning the search for eternal rest that is symbolized by the Western Lands of Egyptian mythology." -- Publishers Weekly PRAISE FOR WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS: "The only American novelist who may conceivably be possessed by genius." --Norman Mailer "Burroughs is the greatest satirical writer since Jonathan Swift. . . . Swift and Rabelais and Sterne accomplished a step in that direction, and Burroughs another." --Jack Kerouac "He's a writer of enormous richness whose books are a kind of attempt to blow up this cozy conspiracy, to allow us to see what's on the end of the fork . . . the truth." --J. G. Ballard "Burroughs was the last great avatar of literary modernism..." -- Will Self "A creator of grim fairy tales for adults, Burroughs spoke to our nightmare fears and, still worse, to our nightmare longings. . . . And more than any other postwar wordsmith, he bridged generations; popularity in the youth culture is greater now than during the heady days of the Beats." --The Los Angeles Times Book Review
