What the...?!Things I liked in the Foreword said about the author:"You had to learn to see him whole before you could see him at all."said by the author:"Just look at all this lousy oatmealy skin. Not enough melanin. I've lived the best years of my life in Morocco and it can't take the sun. When I'm with Africans, I forget that I'm white. But they can't forget it. I stick out like a sore thumb.""The Universe is spinning and what spins must appear symmetrical whether it is or not. That is theBrion Gysin is most known for collaborating with William S. Burroughs on the "cut up" method of text collage alteration, and this is his major novel, the other one being a much shorter piece called, I believe, "The Beat Hotel".

this is so goddamn hypnotic it puts yer ass in a literary dreamachine alpha-wave astral projection state of fuck yeah.
This was one amazing but complicated novel.I don't know quite where to start and I don't know quite what to think about this highly original and quirky tale.I suspect that this book is part-autobiographical, trailing Gysin's restless and meandering treks throughout the Sahara with his special pouch filled with keef.
