#N:smu:11300001:000:384 smu!mike Feb 6 11:04:00 1984 Does anyone have any information concerning the release date of William S. Burrough's ``Place of Dead Roads''? I read last year that it was due out this month (Feb 84). I've also read (and heard read) several excerpts and it looks like a good follow-up to ``Cities of the Red Night''. Are there any other Burroughs fans out there? Mike McNally ...allegra!parsec!smu!mike

Place of Dead Roads is in the stores (at least in New York) and the word is that it is a Cities of The Red Night set in the West of the 1800's. Could be very interesting. I find I need a Burroughs fix every few years to keep me honest amid growing conservatism. For those in the New York area who don't already know, there is a documentary entitled "Burroughs - The Movie" that was shown this summer in the New York Film Festival. It begins a regular run at the Bleeker St. Cinema in Greenwich Village this Friday, Feb 10. I haven't seen it so can't vouch, but it is supposed to be exraordinary. Fred Maslin Resource Dynamics Inc.
