This novel is a reworking and expansion of The Wild Boys (1969), which derived from Naked Lunch (1959), which derived from Junky. The book begins with bits of a story about a young man lost at sea, bits of which are repeated but not resolved later. Interspersed with these fragments are pieces of two parallel stories: one of a sexual encounter between two teenaged boys (one of whom is apparently a fantasy-projection of Burroughs as a boy) and another made up of murky glimpses of, Audrey the ice boy. The rest of the book is a collage of sex scenes between Burroughss various fictional alter egos.
