Representaion Concering Books Nova Express (The Nova Trilogy #3)

The Soft Machine introduced us to the conditions of a universe where endemic lusts of the mind and body pray upon men, hook them, and turn them into beasts. Nova Express takes William S. Burroughs’s nightmarish futuristic tale one step further. The diabolical Nova Criminals—Sammy The Butcher, Green Tony, Iron Claws, The Brown Artist, Jacky Blue Note, Izzy The Push, to name only a few—have gained control and plan on wreaking untold destruction. It’s up to Inspector Lee of the Nova Police to attack and dismantle the word and imagery machine of these “control addicts” before it’s too late. This surrealist novel is part sci-fi, part Swiftian parody, and always pure Burroughs.

Piece Of Books Nova Express (The Nova Trilogy #3)

Burroughs is a great writer; but the cut-up method is rather hit and miss. There were a few pages where the cut-ups were brilliant, but mostly it felt like a slap in the face. It was as if the cut-ups appeared whenever you were enjoying the book too much to say "I see you're enjoying this paragraph a bit too much. How about we mix things up a bit and put your mind to work for a bit."I still think the cut-up method is rather ingenious; I just didn't like it in the context of a narrative novel.

UNREADABLE.

This one made my scalp tingle. An exceptional experience of genre-transcendence pregnant with concepts and themes that have likely been an essential nutrient in the building of many other works by many other folks.I managed to do an audio field recording of my surroundings of the last hour or so it took for me to finish reading this book; I plan to play this publicly in various spots that I will be reading more and will likely be uploading composites of these.I'll have to come back to this

um .. this isn't gonna be MUCH of a review, & fairly brief. I jus wanna denote that after having read the Nova Trilogy I cuddn't ignore how glaringly misogynist & DATEDLY-misogynous it is. the FEW woman are props, & sometimes dismissed with the de rigueur "bitch .. " ('Hamburger' Mary; meaning vaj, et al). also: narrative Projection PRESUMES the reader to be male & caters to 'him;' whom ELSE wud be READING THIS?!.. oi. intergalactic viral war, invasion & mutation is tuff

A book profoundly influenced by DMT experiences. As such, it explores barely imaginable paradoxes in the human condition which culminate in an eschaton of co-operative mutation after passing through searing Nova heat.Burroughs' final exhortation of 'Silence!' was good advice, coming as it did in the Summer of '64.

By far the most straightforward/comprehensible of the series.Unfortunately also the most pg13, with comparatively little sex and drugs, which is where Burroughs's writing tends to be most poetic and visceral.Nevertheless, it's a witty and enjoyable strange trip he takes you on.The introduction and notes on the 'restored text' version are extremely enlightening and make me wish I'd found the other two Nova books in that edition.

"What scared you all into time? Into body? Into shit? I will tell you: "the word."- William S. Burroughs, Nova ExpressWriting about the Nova Trilogy is frustrating. It feels...a bit...like reviewing Joyce's Finnegans Wake. At 3:00, now 4, am it is hard to really, REALLY, get to the meat and idahosoftbones of it all. The books (all 3) are so damn knotty and naughty. Now, I'm not even REALLY comparing the Nova Trilogy to Finnegans Wake. No. They are two different beasts in scale, complexity,
