Part 4: The Part About the Crimes - had detailed descriptions of each of the murders in Santa Teresa, never really determining who are the serial killers, even though with the same themes of murder (rape, strangulation, left nipple bitten off, clothed, etc), you can never really pin point who did it...it sounds more like a an overall male dominance issue, where some husbands confess to the murders of their wives, while others sound like a pimp or client that has murdered his whore.
Some really grotesque incidents (i.e a raper in jail who gets a shiv in his rectum, new fish's ball sac sliced open)...I made it a point not to always read before I slept.


120 plus pages isnt anything, but as Burroughs first it's one of his easier novels - mostly about 'H' and 'M', sometimes 'C'...but his travels from city to city (new orleans to mexico city) trying to score and avoiding the pigeons, going through rehab, the junk withdrawels, etc. They even talk of hipsters haha... yea the same as ones now that talk about wanting to do drugs and once on em needing to be babied. I finished this last night then had bad dreams about being in a car with people jabbing each other with needles to death...
