Set in Mexico City during the early fifties, \u003ci\u003eQueer \u003c\/i\u003efollows William Lee's hopeless pursuit of desire from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene. As Lee breaks down, the trademark Burroughsian voice emerges; a maniacal mix of self-lacerating humor and the Ugly American at his ugliest. A haunting tale of possession and exorcism, \u003ci\u003eQueer \u003c\/i\u003eis also a novel with a history of secrets, as this new edition reveals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 208 pages | Published November 2010\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63977822060893,"sku":"9780141189918","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9780141189918.jpg?v=1774446532","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/queer-25th-anniversary-edition","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
