In dingy hotel rooms, in public places, in ordinary peoples'
houses, the exterminator goes about his business: his quarry is
vermin, the vermin of society...
Moving in space and time between the society we know, and the edge
of another galaxy light years away, this savage study of violence,
hypocrisy and the abuse of power is at once tragic and comic,
satirical and pathetic. William Burroughs has created an incredible
nightmare world, peopled by junkies, pimps, quack doctors and green
adolescents —weird and disturbing characters like the Lemon Kid,
basic J. Audrey the homosexual... and the EXTERMINATOR
himself...
