Hardcover. Condition: Fine in Fine dust jacket. 8vo. 285 pp. The final book of the trilogy that begins with Cities of the Red Night [1981] and continues with The Place of Dead Roads [1983], The Western Lands takes its title from the western bank of the Nile River, which in Egyptian mythology is the Land of the Dead. Inspired by the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Burroughs explores the after-death state by means of dream scenarios, hallucinatory passages, talismanic magic, occultism, superstition, and his characteristic view of the nature of reality. Despite the narrative challenge of the historical framework, the novel is often regarded as Burroughs' best late work and a gratifying culminating episode of the Cities trilogy.

About Fine (top edge stained, spine lettering lightly rubbed). The writing of Cities of the Red Night, first installment of this trilogy, coincided with Burrough's move from Manhattan's Bowery to Lawrence, Kansas, in 1981. The trilogy "proposes a revisionary history of the Americas that would avoid the horrors of colonialism, slavery and despotism. The first volume rewrites history to make gay pirates founders of pan-American communes that become havens for nonconformists from all over the world. In the sequels, libertarian gunslingers attempt to prevent the formation of despotic centralised governments (The Place of Dead Roads) and independent secret agencies struggle to protect individual freedom from the depredations of global corporations (The Western Lands). . . . Fragments [of The Western Lands] are autobiographical, and show the aging writer's anxieties about his own mortality." (Literary Encyclopedia) N. B.

All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.

First Editions. First Printings. Three octavo volumes (23.5cm); variously colored paper and cloth-covered boards, with titles stamped in gilt, copper, and black on spines; patterned endpapers; dustjackets; xviii,332; [xii],[2],3-306; [x],258pp. Volumes 1 and 2 are signed by Burroughs on the title pages; Volume three is signed on the half-title, dated 12/17/87. Sprinkle of foxing to lower edge of textblock on Vol.1, some dust-soil to upper edge of Vol.2, but overall, a uniformly Near Fine set in Near Fine, unclipped dustjackets. An attractive set of Burroughs's final trilogy of novels. "Several SF motifs are drawn together in this complex account of human corruption and corruptibility; alternate histories, nuclear holocaust, time travel, and so on, are employed as metaphors and surrealities. A phantasmagoria crowded with apocalyptic imagery" (Barron, Anatomy of Wonder 4-99).
