Nova Express: The Restored Text: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor William S. Burroughs Editat de Oliver Harris
Notă:  5.00 · o notă 
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 apr 2014
The most ferociously political and prophetic book of the Cut-Up Trilogy,Nova Expressfires 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 withThe Soft MachineandThe 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 howNova Expresswas 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 - followingThe Soft MachineandThe Ticket That Exploded- Nova Express is a hilarious and Swiftian parody of bureaucracy and the frailty of the human animal.

Notă biografică

William S Burroughs (Author)
William S. Burroughs was born on February 5, 1914 in St Louis. In work and in life Burroughs expressed a lifelong subversion of the morality, politics and economics of modern America. To escape those conditions, and in particular his treatment as a homosexual and a drug-user, Burroughs left his homeland in 1950, and soon after began writing. By the time of his death he was widely recognised as one of the most politically trenchant, culturally influential, and innovative artists of the twentieth century. His numerous books includeNaked Lunch, Junky, Queer, Nova Express, Interzone, The Wild Boys, The Ticket That Exploded and The Soft Machine. After living in Mexico City, Tangier, Paris, and London, Burroughs finally returned to America in 1974. He died in 1997.

Recenzii

“A sermon blast of language. . . . Burroughs is the Martin Luther of hipsterism, welding his decree on the silicon doors of the solar system.”—Newsweek

“Hypnotic . . . outrageous. [Burroughs] can think of the wildest parodies of erotic exuberance and invent the weirdest places for demonstrating them.” —Harper’s

“Burroughs is first and foremost a poet. His attunement to contemporary language is probably unequalled in American writing. Anyone with a feeling for English phrase at its most balanced, concise, and arresting, cannot fail to see this excellence.”—Terry Southern

“Burroughs writes with a beauty and efficiency unmatched by any living writer.”—Chicago Sun-Times

“Macabre, funny, reverberant, grotesque.”—The New York Review of Books
