If you're attracted to the unconventional, this book, styled as a film script, dives deep into the surreal final moments of a notorious gangster. Burroughs plays with language and reality, crafting an experience more than a narrative. It's a unique literary piece that offers a vivid, fragmented glimpse into a dying man's mind – thought-provoking and darkly poetic.
