Résumé

It is in Tangier, town were was written Naked Lunch, that William Burroughs became a writer.

Tangier is not only for Burroughs a town where homosexual prostitution and drugs traffic are easy, it is a place where a contact wa established with obscure forces, that the man who accidentally killed his own wife few years earlier, was seeking to encounter.
