Amazingly fractured, but Burroughs' way of going about the stories (writing style, metaphors, names, repetition) serves as a common backdrop. Non-sensical throughout a majority of the book (especially if you try to intertwine the stories in your head constantly), but artfully so.

It's only about 160 pages long in my edition, which was also horribly laid out in the typography/design sense, but definitely worth the read. Almost as good as Junky.

Burroughs was a master when it came to imagery, obscenity and rhythm. ( )
