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".

** INSCRIBED, ONLY COPY THAT I COULD FIND, 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINTING ** Octavo, original green wrappers. Near fine copy. Inscibed by William Burroughs. The image features a page from William S. Burroughs' 1964 novel, Nova Express. The text represents a pivotal scene titled "The Last Words of Hassan i Sabbah," which utilizes Burroughs' signature "cut-up" technique to dismantle linguistic control. Summary of the Text: The passage serves as a "manifesto for global resistance" against "Nova Criminals" and systems of control. It portrays a transition from the physical world to a state of silence, stripping away "flesh identity". Finality and Transition: The text begins with "Last round over," signaling an end to the "ship" of the physical body and its associated identities. The Power of Silence: It emphasizes that silence is the only way to say "good-bye" to the word-and-image machines that Burroughs believed program human thought. Asemic Illustration: Below the typewritten text is a handwritten section by artist Brion Gysin. It mirrors the typed words "To say good silence by." but gradually devolves into asemic writing?symbols that look like text but carry no specific linguistic meaning. This visual "cut-up" reinforces the theme of "rubbing out the word" to achieve liberation. A superior example. â It is in books like The Ticket that Exploded that Burroughs seems to revel in a new medium for its own sakeâ "a medium totally fantastic, spaceless, timeless, in which the normal sentence is fractured, the cosmic tries to push its way through bawdry, and the author shakes the reader as a dog shakes a rat" (Anthony Burgess).
