“First published in 1971 by Grove Press, the novel depicts a homosexual youth movement whose objective is the downfall of western civilization, set in an apocalyptic late twentieth century. In 1972, Burroughs wrote a screenplay based on the novel, with the intent of having it produced as a low-budget hardcore pornographic film, and entered into negotiations with gay porn producer Fred Halsted before abandoning the idea at the end of 1972."
