“If authors had literal superpowers, Burroughs would have the ability to transport you into the most unearthly and hideous worlds. He would lock the door, turn up the lights, and make the key disappear. Figuratively, he has been doing this to me for years. The Wild Boys is a great example of his prowess and zeal to gift the world monstrous visions.
This book (and most of his other ones) are for a very specific type of reader: one who is in it for the "ride", for the adrenaline, the visual symbolism, the powerfully unsettling prose, and the mindfuck of it all. You don't read him, you "experience" him. I tend to always find something fascinating about his writing - In The Wild Boys, one of the strongholds of the Wild Boys (the group of rebellious, anarchic, sex-crazed feral teens) is North Africa... my region of origin and one of the most conservative and sexually restrictive areas in the world. Granted, he wrote this in a different time, but to imagine the goings-on of this book in Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Mali, and other countries is a mindfuck in and of itself.
At times, I felt overstimulated... things got overindulgent and too pornographic. But other than that, Burroughs-wise, it's almost as good as it gets!”
