The novel is one of Burroughs's works from the early 1960s which utilises "'cut-ups', a technique that Burroughs learned from [collaborator and artist Brion] Gysin. After texts are literally cut up, unrelated lines are joined, resulting in hybrid passages that Burroughs sometimes found poetic" (ANB). Octavo. Original orange cloth, titles to spine in black.
