In this fun and nightmarish masterpiece of imaginative excess, grotesque characters engage in violent acts, limitless riches transform a corner of Africa into a utopian bacchanalia, and technology, bodies and violence merge and undo with each other. A piecemeal, spontaneous novel depicting wild boys engaged in vigorous sex and drug rituals, and a guerrilla warfare against a confused and outmoded army. Wild Boys is a demonstration of the reasons Burroughs is unlike any other writer and the reasons why his writing is capable of making the explicit, the terrifying, captivating.
