First published in 1963 and representing Burroughs's literary
breakthrough in the UK, Dead Fingers Talk is, in the words of
Burroughs scholar Prof. Oliver Harris, "a prophetic work of
haunting power", and is perhaps the most commercial and accessible
of his works. Combining new material with selections from Naked
Lunch and his cut-up novels The Soft Machine and The Ticket That
Exploded, the book is also a fascinating precursor to remix and
mash-up forms in art and music, which owe much to Burroughs's
influence. This newly edited edition of Dead Fingers Talk, based on
the restored text of the novel, will delight all Burroughs fans and
lovers of experimental literature, and offer a new insight into the
artistic process of one of the most original and influential
writers of the twentieth century.
