The most ferociously political and prophetic book of the Cut-Up
Trilogy, Nova Express 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 The Soft Machine and The
Ticket That Exploded, William Burroughs deploys his cut-up methods
to make a visionary demand that we take back the world that has
been stolen from us. Edited and introduced by renowned Burroughs
scholar Oliver Harris, this new edition reveals how Nova Express
was cut from an extraordinary wealth of typescripts to create
startling new forms of poetic possibility. The third book of
Burroughs' linguistically prophetic 'cut-up' trilogy - following
The Soft Machine and The Ticket That Exploded - Nova Express is a
hilarious and Swiftian parody of bureaucracy and the frailty of the
human animal.
