About this listen

The third and final installment in Burroughs' Nova trilogy, this surrealist novel is part-sci-fi, part-Swiftian parody, and pure Burroughs.

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' nightmarish futuristic tale one step further. The diabolical Nova Criminals - Sammy the Butcher, Green Tony, Iron Claws, the Brown Artist, Jacky Blue Note, and 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.

No good... no bueno... , is one of the more common refrains throughout the Nova Trilogy, the Cut Up Trilogy, the trilogy of trilogies ~ very good, muy bueno... the best way to explore Burroughs work and explode your audiobook mind. In the flow of speech is where Burroughs work lives, and expands, glitching and glittering in filthy and flowing, cutting, connecting, cutting. These three audiobooks are an amazing way to immerse your mind in Burroughs world and work, and immersion is essential. Highly recommended.
