Review
‘The fold-in technique gives excellent comic and satiric results...cleverly combines the raw energy of lowbrow spy- and science fiction with the brutal unfamiliarity of hardcore pornography.’ Spectator
‘His Swiftian vision of a processed, pre-packaged life, a kind of electro-chemical totalitarianism, often evokes the black laughter of hilarious horror.’ Playboy
From the Back Cover
‘Language is the worn coin pressed silently into my hand. Inspector J. Lee of the Nova Police knew them by many names – but he only knew one way to stop them...The only weapon was silence: silence to say goodbye – by silence to say good. "You see, gentlemen, what we call history of the world – and the world is a killer virus...”’
A prophetic vision of a world in which technology has gone haywire, 'The Ticket that Exploded' completes Burroughs’ classic ‘Cut-Up Trilogy’.
'Lee, Kiki, the Nova Police, the Mugwumps, Mr Bradley, Mr Martin – the gang's all here in the novel where Burroughs' cut-up technique came on line. As filthy and boggling as it was in 1968 – would he get away with it today?' Time Out

First Edition
Seller: Bookwood, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Wraps. Condition: Very Good. First Thus. From rear cover: "The Ticket That Exploded utilises William Burroughs's now famous fold-in method to give a fragmented and many-sided vision of modern reality. The result is at once an original work of fiction, an intensely poetical novel and a political and moral fable. The author's preoccupation is with the plethora of forces in the world that attempt to exercise 'control', and his fantastic imagination once again weaves extraordinary images and ideas into a world that is both personal and universal". First Corgi paperback edition, published 1971. Front cover blurb: "Author of The Naked Lunch". Mass market paperback. Printed in Great Britain. Slight handling wear, bookseller's small price sticker to front cover, mild spotting to edge of book block, otherwise a nice clean tight solid softcover copy. 191pp. SB-95. Seller Inventory # 035947
