William Burroughs - Steden van de rode nacht. Vertaling Peter van Oers - Bussum - Uitgeverij Agathon - 1981 - 1st edition - [296] pp - Paperback - 12,5 x 20 cm.
Condition: Good - some wear, top edge with some rust spots. Neat copy (with stamp 'Beschadigd', which means that the book probably went on sale).
Dutch translation of Cities of the Red Night (1980); a novel (the 'magnum opus' according to the blurb) by the American writer William Seward Burroughs II (1914-1997). Cover design: Micha Joseph.
¶ The central figure in this book is the 18th century pirate Captain Mission, who advocated complete freedom and the abolition of slavery a century before the French and American Revolutions. "Steden van de rode nacht is geestig, geheimzinnig, smerig [en] af en toe zelfs walgelijk. Burroughs' visioen is uniek, schandelijk en fascinerend" - Publisher's Weekly.
