Burroughs' grand "cut-up" trilogy, which starts with The Soft Machine and continues through Nova Express, reaches its climax as inspector Lee and the Nova Police engage the Nova Mob in a decisive battle for the planet.

Die Texte der Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preisträgerin Sharon Dodua Otoo nun in einem Band. Über Herr Gröttrup setzt sich hin urteilt die Jury: "Ein cooler Text" als die Autorin mit ihrer ersten auf Deutsch geschriebenen Erzählung 2016 den Bachmann-Preis gewann.

"Jeudi dernier, c’est la journée la plus horrible de ma vie, le jour des plus grandes humiliations. J’ai vu que ce que tu appelles “amour” n’était qu’un caprice à satisfaire quel qu’en soit le prix. J’ai aussi vu qu’à moins de me soumettre à ce caprice je n’avais pas de place ni dans ta vie, ni dans ton humanité, ni dans ton estime. La question n’est pas de savoir si je t’aime assez pour supporter tes états d’âme ou si je le souhaite, je sais que je ne veux plus jamais subir ce que j’ai vécu jeudi dernier. Jamais."

Clayton Sanders left home the minute he had his high school diploma in hand. He waited that long only because the Army wouldn't accept him without one. Now, 10 years later, he's home. Home with no warning, no advance notice, no anything after being gone 10 years with almost no contact with his family. Home carrying a secret that is burning him up from the inside.

“No plan survives contact with the enemy.” An age-old idiom that Clay Sanders knows very well. In this case however, it's surviving contact with the people who are supposed to be on his side. Plus, the "Citizen's Committee" is still out there somewhere, there's a nutty "Reverend" working the airwaves into a frenzy, there are disgruntled members of the community sowing discord and strife, apparent rogue nomadic elements of some kind, cannibals still active in their area, and more....
