The Job is William S. Burroughs at work, attacking our traditional values, condemning what he calls "the American nightmare," and expressing his often barbed views on Scientology, the police, orgone therapy, history, women, writing, politics, sex, drugs, and death. His conversation splices images of death-by-hanging with elevators and airports, the story of his drug addiction and cure with ideas on the use of hieroglyphs. He has been called "the most important and innovative writer to emerge since World War II" (J.G. Ballard, Washington Post Book World). Provocative, crackling with anger and intensity, The Job reveals why.
