First published in 1995 in Mexico, The Stray Bullet is a riveting account of William S. Burroughs’s formative experiences in Mexico, his fascination with Mexico City’s demimonde, his acquaintances and friendships there, and his contradictory attitudes toward the country and its culture. This compelling book also offers a contribution by Burroughs himself as well as previously unpublished letters written by Burroughs from Mexico.
