BURROUGHS, William S. The Wild Boys: A Book of the Dead. London: Calder and Boyars. 1972. 8vo. First British edition. Publisher’s red cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by John Sewell. A very good or better copy, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square. The contents clean and fine, though with a few mild stains to the fore-edge. The dust jacket unclipped (£2.50), slightly faded and stained at the spine panel, with a few other faint marks. A handsome copy.
A guerrilla army of homosexual humanoids form a cultish movement hoping to destroy civilisation, leading to apocalypse. Burroughs sets aside much of his cut-up technique here, making The Wild Boys notably more accessible for readers.
