This was my first Burroughs book, and I'm unsure what to make of it. A very brief short story collection. I don't know if this is Burroughs' typical writing style, but a lot of the stories were hard to follow. The characters weren't named and it was easy to get lost in the pronouns. There were a few I liked, and I have an essay collection on my To Read list that I still intend to try, so it wasn't a major turn-off, just nothing noteworthy.
