THE SOFT MACHINE
is the immediate successor to 'The Naked Lunch', a book which has, in a short time, established itself as one of the key works of post-war literature.
The author's principal preoccupations are still the juxtaposition of good and evil, human passion and sensuality and the power of the machine, the struggle of conflicting forces to control human environment; and with the awareness that nightmares have their counterparts in real life.
This is not a book for the casual reader; nor is it for the squeamish. the serious reader, however, will find a technical mastery, a courage with experimentation and a scientific eye for the new literary research that is unparalleled in modern writing.
