  Burroughs : Cities Of The Red Night   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Cities of the Red Night creates a science-fiction myth that explains all of human history as we know it and an alternative history that shows the power of fantasy.
The cities of the title are an imaginary, prehistoric civilization portrayed in a science-fiction mode that satirizes contemporary Western society.
Burroughs contrasts his dystopian vision of the cities of the red night and their disastrous legacy to the present with a retroactive utopia that universalizes the wild-boy fantasy.

 Night of the Red Skies: Vision of "Grandfather", Apache wise man and scout
I sat for a long time in the quietude of the night, trying desperately to understand what Grandfather had told me. In essence it was not enough to work for spiritual enlightenment for self but to work for the spiritual enlightenment of all of mankind.
As sunset drifted to night, the stars shone bright red, the color never leaving the sky, and everywhere was heard the cries of fear and pain.
It was in his final night at the Eternal Cave that the fourth Vision came to Grandfather, this time carried by the voice of a young child.

Red Raven II made Namor realize the folly of his ways, and the two were set to stop Diablo machinations, but he had an ace up his sleeve.

Narrative after deconstruction: structure and the negative poetics of William Burroughs's 'Cities of the Red Night.'
In doing so, we will sketch a narrative that employs a structural model without accepting it fully; how structure and critique are balanced is the key to Burroughs's movement beyond the negative poetics for which he is principally known.
This novel is the first of Burroughs's recent trilogy (which includes Place of dead Roads and Western Lands) and is grounded as much in Burroughs's 1960s experimentalism as in the narrative cohesion of the later books of the trilogy.

 RealityStudio » Burroughs in 1981
New York City proved to have too many temptations for Burroughs as he became immersed in the music, art and socialite scene of the Big Apple and the accompanying drug culture.
The publications after The Cities of the Red Night with major houses, like Holt, are not collectible to me, signed or unsigned.
Red Ozier, Full Court Press, Cadmus are all vibrant examples of the small press tradition, but they leave me cold while the books from Auerhahn (The Exterminator) or Two Cities (Minutes to Go) in 1960 are treasured possessions.
