William Burroughs was born in St Louis, Missouri in 1914. Immensely influential among the Beat writers of the 1950s -- notably Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg -- he already had an underground reputation before the appearance of his first important book, 'Naked Lunch'. William Burroughs died in 1997.
'The fold-in technique gives excellent comic and satiric results!cleverly combines the raw energy of lowbrow spy- and science fiction with the brutal unfamiliarity of hardcore pornography.' Spectator 'His Swiftian vision of a processed, pre-packaged life, a kind of electro-chemical totalitarianism, often evokes the black laughter of hilarious horror.' Playboy

Wraps. Condition: Very Good. First Thus. From rear cover: "The Ticket That Exploded utilises William Burroughs's now famous fold-in method to give a fragmented and many-sided vision of modern reality. The result is at once an original work of fiction, an intensely poetical novel and a political and moral fable. The author's preoccupation is with the plethora of forces in the world that attempt to exercise 'control', and his fantastic imagination once again weaves extraordinary images and ideas into a world that is both personal and universal".

Slight handling wear, bookseller's small price sticker to front cover, mild spotting to edge of book block, otherwise a nice clean tight solid softcover copy. 191pp. SB-95. Seller Inventory # 035947
