De werken verkennen thema's als controle, vrijheid en de zoektocht naar ontsnapping aan onderdrukkende krachten. Verwacht niet-lineaire verhalen en gedurfde stilistische experimenten.
In this surreal, savage fantasy, the sequel to "Naked Lunch", Burroughs develops his "cut-up" technique, randomly cutting up and folding in words to transform the narrative into a new, imaginative form of prose poetry.
The Nova Criminals, featuring terrifying characters like Sammy the Butcher and Iron Claws, threaten global destruction. Only Inspector Lee of the Nova Police can stop them by dismantling their word and image machine before it's too late.
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.
