Description: "A sermon blast of language. . . . Burroughs is the Martin Luther of hipsterism, welding his decree on the silicon doors of the solar system."-- Newsweek "Hypnotic . . . outrageous. [Burroughs] can think of the wildest parodies of erotic exuberance and invent the weirdest places for demonstrating them." -- Harper's "Burroughs is first and foremost a poet. His attunement to contemporary language is probably unequalled in American writing. Anyone with a feeling for English phrase at its most balanced, concise, and arresting, cannot fail to see this excellence."--Terry Southern "Burroughs writes with a beauty and efficiency unmatched by any living writer."-- Chicago Sun-Times "Macabre, funny, reverberant, grotesque."-- The New York Review of Books
