Nobody wants to talk to me about the novel Nova Express or it's audiobook, and I am going insane. Someone discuss with me the Nova arrest of star Bradley of Bradley-Martin star-systems, his sentence in what appears to be the slowly dying sad queer body of the author, Crabs huddling around the image-heat of the photo of the mushroom cloud at Hiroshima for its properties as their home habitat of the white-hot planet of Minraud in the Crab Nebula, Inflexible Authority and it's possession of the District Supervisor in pursuit of the Nova Mob, and the nature of Dr Winkhorst who I can't help but feel is some winking bastard from the Horseshoe Nebula.
I really enjoyed that book but could not tell you anything plot related. The em dashes are fun. The prose is fun. Parts made me laugh. Love Burroughs. You’re missing the dual sun weirdness and the orgone belt around earth. Also his stealing of part of Kafka’s trial for his own purposes was interesting.
>>25253479FUCKWe are an agent investigating the actions of the mysterious Nova Mob who are somehow trying to destroy the earth. We find, through the actions of our mysterious District Supervisor, that The Nova Mob are a gang of malevolent non-three-dimensional celestial body criminals astrally projecting themselves from thousands of lightyears away, into the bodies of morally weakened humans who they possess to create and perpetrate soul body and mind-destroying drugs and sociological procedures on the human race, as well as forcing and pitting the human races against eachother and fanning the flames of conflict, for the purposes of destroying the planet so they may briefly feast on its collective biologic and psychic death scream. The reason this set of celestial star-criminals do this? They are criminals to the rest of the stars, they can feel the heat closing in, they are on the run. They are not allowed back to their home habitat and they destroy biologic organisms' planets just for the momentary perverted fix of the white-hot pain they identify with their homeland. Then they move on to the next planet. Turns out, one of their guys got fixed on his own supply. Uranian Willy, the Heavy Metal Kid, defected towards Earth because he got hooked on Earth's local radiation and local radiation drugs, causing him to be trapped in his current physical body and unable to cancel his possession of it. He destroys all metaphysical lines to blow the lid off and cause havoc to notify the Celestial Authority of the Nova Mob's crimes. Inflexible Authority arrives, uncorrupted entity from thousands of lightyears away, he apparently having always been possessing District Supervisor and investigating the Nova Mob through human body, and sentences Nova Mob to biologic court from crimes against Biology. Nova Mob sentence? On the prerogative that all life seeks life, Nova Mob leader dying star Bradley is sentenced to synthesis with a human organism so that he may live in Earth habitat. This human subject? The author, star Bradley and he both eternally suffering the slow-death resulting from predatory addiction, Burroughs to his real-life dead houseboy Kiki and Bradley to his surviving but lightyears away binary co-star Martin>>25253479>stealingI'm going to kill you
>>25253479Oh yes Bradley-Martin is very very and deliberately gay So the whole Nova Mob is on the run for unknown crimes, they can't go home to *where they belong* to their home habitat, because they are on the run and can feel the heat closing in. So, they create their idea of that environment, which is inhospitable to all life, on planet after planet so they can experience a brief fix, and blow up the planet before the cops show up (and the cops always do show up because they recognize the signature of spot being blown up). Bradley-Martin? A sad pair of homosexual binary stars, Bradley being a dying WHITE star who delays supernova (death) due to the siphoning of his nebula has by also male star Martin who is young and blue and grows by sucking this power. Bradley's sentence for his long-running predatory mutual rape crime across the cosmos? According to Inflexible Authority's transcendentally fair respect for the desire of all biological forms to seek habitat, the sentence is SYNTHESIS WITH AN OXYGEN BREATHING ORGANISM. This organism? The author, Bradly and Borroughs trapped in slowly dying exiled human form homosexually pining for the dead Kiki, Bradley for his long-gone Martin. Get a load of that
>>25253479Though the orgone belt does evade me! I plan to listen and read along a few more times, gotta figure out this orgnone business. Something about Earth as an oxygen-emotion thrived planet being symbiotic with this belt of seemingly honest sexual energy? Almost treating earth as a young straight boy riped to be harnessed for both its physical sexual juices and its psychological innocence-destruction, no?
it made me read Alamut, and I'm glad for it
>>25253437Can one read this stand alone or should one read other books first?
>>25253729I read the first half of The Soft Machine, then skipped to Nova Express. As you can see I'm FUCKING REBORN about it. The whole trilogy is a cut-up series, meaning each book was made of internally and externally chopped up segments that are in fact designed to be read in any order. Nova Express is the last and most clear one, though all of Burroughs' works and verbiage is superliminally meant to resonate with eachother and the more of his you read the more you get out of seeing the same old phrases put together in such interesting and echoing ways.
>>25253723I should do that, ordering a hard copy now
>>25253729>>25253738also to be short yeah just open Nova Express and start from Last Words and you can get it with an open mind. It is very experimental though. Anything that mystifies or confuses you, be patient with because all of the author's ideas recur in all his works and it's some part of his design you need to see them a few times in different places for what's happening to work.
>>25253729they are all mostly standalone, even if it's called trilogyI started with Interzone and it was probably a good choice
>>25253741the first quarter or even half is pretty mid but I promise it gets good once the book starts following Hassan ibn Sabbah's character
>>25253765Thanks! I'm loosely aware but I'm really excited to hear anything about the guy
Guys pardon me for being frustrated but come on this shit needs to GET OUT how have you guys not READ THIS
>>25253756>Interzonethat's a Joy Division song
>>25253835FUCK. YOU. THEY NAMED IT AFTER BURROUGHS. YOU FUCKING KNOW THAT, OR ARE YOU TOO STUPID TO CHECK WHEN YOU SEE A CONNECTION?GOD DAMMIT THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR LOOKING INTO THE INSPIRATIONS OF MY INSPIRATIONS
>>25253835Interesting
>the restored textMore like the retarded text
>>25254464Which text can you recommendalso fuck this board
I spit notice and demand a report
>>25253437I've never heard of it, but that's the name of the leftist rag in Watchmen.
>>25255069That's right! It's the name chosen by the artist and author of Watchmen for their example a system-destroying punk periodical!!!
>>25255088Yeah, but Rorschach was right about everything.
>>25255069Also to level with you, yes the Nova Express reference is direct in Watchmen, it wasn't a joke. Read the first chapter and listen to my last words
>>25255098Yes, though tragically, Explore Uranian Willy. He wised up the marks,
>>25255099I believe you, Alan Moore is a very literate and left-leaning individual.>>25255105>Explore Uranian Willy.What did you mean by this?
>>25255113I mean READ THE NOVEL NOVA EXPRESS, and so long as you don't get it i will REPEAT MY LAST WORDS. Uranian Willy aka the Heavy Metal Kid wised up the marks. His plan called for total exposure. Storm the studios, cut word lines, photo falling, word falling// technician on switchboard mixes a bicarbonate of soda it was impossible to estimate the damage
>>25255128yeah Fight Club was a pretty cool movie
>>25255153alright pal what did YOU (yourself) mean by this? Distracted by a reference film are we? Let's hear the real story. LEVEL.
>>25255128and do these last words still imply a possibility?
>>25253437hang in anon, I am going to read the book.but I am a little retarded and I don't know how to read.but i will give you my thoughts on it.
>>25255439a possibility? Absolutely, the ending is great
