From the introduction by Allen Ginsberg: "Burroughs's work has been logical patchwork, a series of psychophysical literate experiments on himself and the Word planet, advances and retreats, overnight flights, tunnelings, stopovers, exiles and homecomings to different areas of emotion and physical space, bewildering in variety but coherent as our solar system. I hope this book serves as a guide map for myself and others to locate his landmarks and side trips, interzones and galaxies -- where we'll find him lurking waiting for us with benevolent indifferent attentiveness, 'last of the Faustian men,' as Kerouac mythologized him in an earlier decade this century.".
