The Ticket That Exploded | William Burroughs

2 posts | 6 read | 2 to read

In The Ticket That Exploded, William S. Burroughs’s grand “cut-up” trilogy that starts with The Soft Machine and continues through Nova Express reaches its climax as inspector Lee and the Nova Police engage the Nova Mob in a decisive battle for the planet. Only Burroughs could make such a nightmare vision of scientists and combat troops, of ad men and con men whose deceitful language has spread like an incurable disease be at once so frightening and so enthralling.

All blue. All sitting on the TBR shelves, some for a long time.

Eggs Lovely! I started Infinite Jest, but it was not for me... 5y

Tex2Flo @eggs not sure I‘ll ever get to it. Been sitting there for at least 3 years. All the comments I‘ve read make me think it‘s more trouble than it‘s worth. 5y

Eggs It‘s great if you like looong paragraphs that are essentially 1 sentence!!!š¤Øš¤Ŗš¤“ 5y

(Day 11 - #LustForLife)

Just a few of the references in Iggy Pop‘s ā€Lust for Lifeā€¯
(I just realized that the station ID and dates are hidden: The background is a page from the American Forces Network News in Berlin dated March 17, 1973. Bowie & Iggy would watch ā€Starsky & Hutchā€¯ on that channel when they were in Berlin. ā€Lust for Lifeā€¯ features a drum riff on the Morse code call signal that the guys heard before their show.)

Cinfhen, Lizpixie

gradcat Oops! š¬ I assumed (because I forget how very old I amā€”doh!) that folks would remember the tagged book about Vincent Van Gogh, especially because of the movie starring Kirk Douglas. I know, I knowā€”too much explaining...so sorry! š 6y
