Review
"It's a comedy . . . a nightmare . . . Bosch-like visions, extraordinarily precise vivid visualizations . . . outrageous ideas like mind bombs."--Allen Ginsberg
"Powerful . . . a raging torrent of words and images . . . Burroughs, like Dali, first draws from his insanity, then selects with reason. And what a master of the mother tongue he is--sculpted sentences, poetic prose, riffs that make you gasp in amazement . . . More accessible and murkily poetic than ever."--"Los Angeles Times Book Review
"One of the wildest rides into the Wild West, and other parts known and unknown, we will ever have."--"The Washington Post Book World
"A moving personal saga as well as a record of revolutionary vision."--"Chicago Tribune Book World
