Riassunto:

Un ibrido scandaloso di fantascienza pulp, poesia sperimentale oscena e manifesto per la rivoluzione, The Ticket That Exploded è un antidoto dell'ultima possibilità al virus delle bugie diffuso dai pubblicitari e dai truffatori della Nova Mob, una chiamata alle armi contro coloro che stanno guidando il nostro pianeta verso il punto di distruzione. Come gli altri due volumi della Cut-Up Trilogy di Burroughs, The Soft Machine e Nova Express, è oggi fresco nella sua forma e urgente nel suo messaggio come non mai. Curata e introdotta dal rinomato studioso di Burroughs Oliver Harris, questa nuova edizione rivela come la portata culturale del libro si sia espansa con la logica virale dei metodi creativi multimediali di Burroughs.

Informazioni sull'autore: 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.
