Ghost of Chance

Ghost of Chance

Author(s): William S. Burroughs

Location(s): Madagascar

Genre(s): Historical

Era(s): 1700

Ghost of Chance is an adventure story set in the jungle of Madagascar and filled with the obsessions that mark the work of the man who Norman Mailer once called, “the only American writer possessed by genius.” While tripping through the author’s trademark concerns – drugs, paranoia, and lemurs, this short novel tells an important story about environmental devastation in a way that only Burroughs can tell it.
