Nova Express Av William S. Burroughs

<p>The most ferociously political and prophetic book of the Cut-Up Trilogy, <i>Nova Express </i>fires the reader into a textual outer space to show us our burning planet and to reveal the operations of the Nova Mob in all their ugliness. As with <i>The Soft Machine</i> and <i>The Ticket That Exploded</i>, William Burroughs deploys his cut-up methods to make a visionary demand that we take back the world that has been stolen from us. <br><br>Edited and introduced by renowned Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris, this new edition reveals how <i>Nova Express </i>was cut from an extraordinary wealth of typescripts to create startling new forms of poetic possibility.<br><br>The third book of Burroughs'' linguistically prophetic ''cut-up'' trilogy - following <i>The Soft Machine</i> and <i>The Ticket That Exploded</i> - Nova Express is a hilarious and Swiftian parody of bureaucracy and the frailty of the human animal.</p>
