Synopsis "The Soft Machine: The Restored Text (Penguin Modern Classics)"

A terrifying, surreal space-age odyssey, The Soft Machine initiated Burroughs' Cut-Up Trilogy that includes Nova Express and The Ticket That Exploded. The book draws the reader into an unmappable textual space, where nothing is true and everything is permitted, to make a total assault on the colonising powers of planet earth that have turned us all into machines.Edited and introduced by renowned Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris, this new edition clarifies for the first time the extraordinary history of The Soft Machine's writing and rewriting, demolishing the myths of Burroughs' chance-based writing methods and demonstrating for a new generation the significance of his greatest experiment.

William Seward Burroughs (1914-1997) es una figura legendaria de la literatura norteamericana de este siglo, un escritor comparado con Villon, Rimbaud y Genet. Tanto su vida como su obra, de un pesimismo total y un sombrío sentido del humor, reflejan una actitud de rebelión permanente contra la sociedad convencional. Homosexual, drogadicto durante muchos años, amigo e ídolo de Kerouac y Ginsberg, se le considera el gran «gurú» de la generación beat, pese a su negativa a ser incluido en ella.
