Caustic satire meets fragmented narrative chaos.
"Exterminator!" is vintage Burroughs—an unflinching satire that slices through societal underbellies with razor-sharp wit. If you're a fan of the Beats or if societal critiques wrapped in eccentric, disjointed storytelling excite you, then this mosaic of madness and experimentation is for you. Burroughs' distinct blend of dark humor and hallucinatory prose will make you rethink norms while navigating its bizarre literary ride.

Description
A witty, raunchy, satirical novel from the Beat legend and author of Naked Lunch. Conspirators plot to explode a train carrying nerve gas. A perfect servant suddenly reveals himself to be the insidious Dr. Fu Manchu. Science-fantasy wars, racism, corporate capitalism, drug addiction, and various medical and psychiatric horrors all play their parts in this mosaic-like, experimental novel. Here is William S. Burroughs at his coruscating and hilarious best.
