Il libro più ferocemente politico e profetico della Cut-Up Trilogy, Nova Express lancia il lettore in uno spazio testuale esterno per mostrarci il nostro pianeta in fiamme e per rivelare le operazioni della Nova Mob in tutta la loro bruttezza. Come in The Soft Machine e The Ticket That Exploded, William Burroughs impiega i suoi metodi di cut-up per avanzare una richiesta visionaria di riprenderci il mondo che ci è stato rubato. Curata e introdotta dal rinomato studioso di Burroughs Oliver Harris, questa nuova edizione rivela come Nova Express sia stata ritagliata da una straordinaria ricchezza di dattiloscritti per creare nuove e sorprendenti forme di possibilità poetica. Terzo libro della trilogia linguisticamente profetica di Burroughs "cut-up", dopo The Soft Machine e The Ticket That Exploded, Nova Express è una parodia esilarante e swiftiana della burocrazia e della fragilità dell'animale umano.

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 include Naked 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.
