About this Item
Description:
First U.S. Edition. 217 pp. 8vo. Original rust cloth with black spine titles. Original pictorial dust jacket. The dust jacket is unclipped, with only trivial toning to the spine and minor shelf rubbing. The first expanded and definitive version of Burroughs' second "Nova" novel. A masterpiece of the cut-up method developed alongside Brion Gysin, the narrative follows Inspector Lee in his battle against the "Nova Mob," extraterrestrial entities who use language and imagery to control human biological processes. It is a dense, psychedelic, and profoundly influential critique of mass media and social control. A superlative collector's copy of a Beat Generation high-spot. Store case 1. . Seller Inventory # 759

Paperback. Condition: New. This is the second novel, alongside 'The Soft Machine' and 'Nova Express', in William Burroughs' classic 'Cut-Up Trilogy'. A prophetic vision of a world in which technology has gone haywire, 'The Ticket That Exploded' continues the adventures of Agent Lee in his mission to investigate and subvert the methods of mind control being used by The Nova Mob. Experimental, unnerving and compelling in equal measure, this is a completely original work of science fiction and a gripping moral and political fable from post-war America's most controversial and influential writer.
