Seems like kpunk didn't really get it
The cut ups
Bill’s big innovation drags literature into the Twentieth Century – Hoorah! The trouble with the cut ups is that they are a good idea, but pretty shit when you actually have to wade through them. I would call them a failed experiment. Be honest now, do they really have the effect upon you that Burroughs claimed? They seem to work much better in any medium other than writing. If you see the films he made with Antony Balch, you get a good idea of the sort of thing that he intended, but it just doesn’t come across in the books. Of course, he more or less abandoned them in the later books, so perhaps (as some have suggested) he came to see them as a dead end.

Who, Burroughs? The yage/time-travel stuff must have really worked, I guess.

I've read the first 10 pages of this but I've had too much to drink now so I'm gonna rewind to the start tomorrow.
We've already had plenty of spurting semen, KY jelly and rectal mucus for those who like that sort of thing.

"The Ticket has more orgasms and penises than The Soft Machine and Nova Express put together and its descriptions of alien sex are perversely poetic."

The International Times essay on tape recorder experiments that was appended to this book, but isn't included in the edition I've got, annoyingly.
