A wity, rauchy, satirical novel from the Beat legend and author of Naked Lunch

Conspirators plot to explode a train carrying nerve gas. A perfect servant suddenly reveals himself to be the insidious Dr. Fu Manchu. Science-fantasy wars, racism, corporate capitalism, drug addiction, and various medical and psychiatric horrors all play their parts in this mosaic-like, experimental novel. Here is William S. Burroughs at his coruscating and hilarious best.
