...back together higgledy-piggledy before turning it in to his publishers. Result: a hallucinatory little nonbook of babble whose most distinguishing feature is a preoccupation with sodomy and the dubious joys thereof. Burroughs apologists insist that there are plot and Profound Meaning imbedded in the book, but only a cultist will find them...

Looking ahead the cultist's mouth waters with prospects of death struggles on the Orient Express and feverish rendezvous with Vesper and Pussy Galore.
