About This Item
Nova Express by William S. Burroughs (author of Naked Lunch and Junkie) Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Grove Press 1964. $5.00 cover price.
Fine- in Near Fine+ Dust Jacket. A really nice copy, the book itself is near perfect, clean pages, clean boards, sharp corners, except some ghost marks on the ffep. The dust jacket is for the most part quite clean and bright, NO tearing, some slight toning here and there, which is typical of this edition. Still a beautiful copy, not often found as such.
William Burroughs was a member of a small group of Beat Literature writers which included Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. They would influence the so-called Beatniks and eventually the Hippies.
NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.
ALSO: The pictures are of the actual item for sale. (The pictures are NOT stock photos.)
Synopsis
Nova Express is a 1964 novel by William S. Burroughs, the plot of which cannot easily be described. It was written using Burroughs' "cut-up method" of enfolding snippets of different texts into the novel, including T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, among others. It is the third book in The Nova Trilogy, preceded by The Soft Machine and The Ticket That Exploded. Naked Lunch is seen as a prequel to these. Nova Express was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1965.
