Gangster's delirious deathbed ramblings turned screenplay.
If you're attracted to the unconventional, this book, styled as a film script, dives deep into the surreal final moments of a notorious gangster. Burroughs plays with language and reality, crafting an experience more than a narrative. It's a unique literary piece that offers a vivid, fragmented glimpse into a dying man's mind – thought-provoking and darkly poetic.

Description
Before he was gunned down in the Palace Chop House in Newark, New Jersey, in October 1935, Arthur Flegenheimer, alias Dutch Schultz, was generally considered New York's Number One racketeer. Taken to a hospital following the gangland shooting, he survived for two days. His room was guarded around the clock, and a police stenographer was stationed at his bedside in the hope of learning who his assailant or assailants were. Instead, what was recorded were Dutch's fevered fantasies, stemming from his childhood and youth, as well as his recent past. Taking these "last words" as his starting point, Burroughs has created his own fantasy of Dutch Schultz, casting his fiction in the form of a film script.
