"In Mr. Burroughs's hands writing reverts to acts of magic, as though he were making some enormous infernal encyclopedia of all the black impulses and acts that, once made, would shut away the fiends forever."-- The New York Times "It is in books like The Ticket that Exploded that Burroughs seems to revel in a new medium for its own sake--a medium totally fantastic, spaceless, timeless, in which the normal sentence is fractured, the cosmic tries to push its way through bawdry, and the author shakes the reader as a dog shakes a rat."--Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange "[Burroughs's] Swiftian vision of a processed, pre-packaged life, a kind of electro-chemical totalitarianism, often evokes the black laughter of hilarious horror."-- Playboy "The power of his imagination often carries his comedy far into the buried recesses of the psyche."-- The New Republic.
