Ghost of Chance (William S. Burroughs)

A very interesting read after Cities of the Red Night. In this super-short book, Burroughs continues to explore the world of Captain Mission and his libertarian society, this time in a settlement on Madagascar. It's a rather straightforward presentation of what seems to be a common theme in late Burroughs: failure of the underdog's noble cause, and the triumph of the establishment. It ends with a cry for help concerning the endangered lemurs of Madagascar, and even includes an address for concerned readers to write to.
