The Soft Machine by William S. Burroughs [Book #1 in the Nova Trilogy]

FIRST EDITION / SECOND PRINTING [1966] GROVE PRESS

Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition.

Dust jacket is in beautiful shape.  Light wear to edges; clean and bright.  Housed in a new archival quality jacket protector.

Book itself is very good; some trace foxing to edges of text block and some discoloration to edge of title page.   Otherwise looks and read like new. 


In Naked Lunch, William S. Burroughs revealed his genius. In The Soft Machine, he begins an adventure that will take us even further into the dark recesses of his imagination, a region where nothing is sacred, nothing taboo. Continuing his ferocious verbal assault on hatred, hype, poverty, war, bureaucracy, and addiction in all its forms, Burroughs gives us a surreal space odyssey through the wounded galaxies in a book only he could create.
