Nebula Awards Best Novel (nominee)
Harpers
Hypnotic; I wish I could quote, but it takes several pages to get high on the stuff....Funny...outrageous along the lines of Burrough's well-established scatology. He can think of the wildest parodies of erotic exuberance and invent the weirdest places for demonstrating them.
Chicago Sun-Times
Burroughs writes with a beauty and efficiency unmatched by any living writer.
Newsweek
Naked Lunch was a wild collage of every conceivable cathartic. Nova Express is more of the same....[It] is a sermon-blast of language....[Burroughs] is the Martin Luther of hipsterism, welding his decree onto the silicon doors of the solar system.
Book Week
His attunement to contemporary language is probably unequalled in American writing.
Genre: Literary Fiction
