*The Cut-Up Period (mid 1950s to mid 1960s): Naked Lunch is a incoherent resolute amassment of "routines" from The Word Hoard - manuscripts written in Tangier, Paris, and London, blending through into the Cut-up technique, cut-up and fold-in fiction also heavily worn out from The Word Hoard: The Soft Machine, Nova Express, The Ticket That Exploded, also referred to as "The Nova Trilogy" or "the Nova Epic", self-described close by. near Burroughs as an have a go or shot at to fabricate "a identical lore conducive to the priceless stretch age".
