So did anyone like this?

I'll say it once and I'll say it twice: once I found out Burroughs cut up sentences and pasted them randomly to make the book more confusing, I knew he and his hack book could be disregarded forever.

This cover reminds me too much of spongebob. It is intentional?

He didn’t start using cut ups until The Soft Machine.

Firstly hated it, then loved it

It was written over the course of like 9 heroin-addled years so it's an insight into the drug-fueled mania of burroughs

On a second note, the fully restored text (author notes, editor cuts, burroughs letters about morphine rehabilitation, etc) is a must read for this

Everyone, I present to you the Beat Writers.

Wrong book Mr ignorant man

nova trilogy has too many sequences that are just pure unedited cutups. i feel burroughs came close to the answer, but was just unwilling to edit out any sequences that didn't make any immediate sense, and so you get these long sections that are all spit blood under the sliding vulture shadows-At The Mercado Mayorista saw a tourist-A Meester Merican fruto drinking pisco-and fixed me with the eyes so I sit down and drink and tell him how I live in a shack under the hill with a tin roof held down by rocks and hate my brothers because they eat-He says something about "malo viento" and laughs and I went with him to a hotel I know-In the morning he says I am honest and will I come with him to Pucallpa he is going into the jungle looking for snakes and spiders to take pictures and bring them back to Washington they always carry something away even if it is only a spider monkey spitting blood the way most of us do here in the winter when the mist comes down from the mountains and never leaves your clothes and lungs and everyone coughed and spit blood mist on the mud floor where I sleep-We start out next day in a Mixto Bus by night we are in the mountains with snow and the Meester brings out a bottle of pisco and the driver gets drunk down into the Selva came to Pucallpa three days later-The Meester locates a brujo and pays him to prepare Ayuhuasca and I take some too and muy mareado-Then I was back in Lima and other places I didn't know and saw the Meester as child in a room with rose wallpaper looking at something I couldn't see-Tasting roast beef and turkey and ice cream in my throat knowing the thing I couldn't see was always out there in the hall-And the Meester was looking at me and I could see the street boy words there in his throat-Next day the police came looking for us at the hotel and the Meester showed letters to the Commandante so they shook hands and went off to lunch and I took a bus back to Lima with money he gave me to buy equipment-
