  Burroughs : Nova Express   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Nova Express, the last novel in Burroughs's experimental trilogy, presents the Nova mythology in its final, most fully developed and coherent form and also focuses on that mythology more strongly through its simplified and condensed structure.
Nova Express begins with a long exposition that immediately presents and explains the central myth, orienting the reader at the beginning to basic metaphors and conflicts.
In his final version of the Nova myth, Burroughs focuses on the cosmic conflict between the Mob and the Police as the dominating metaphor, giving the conflict a metaphysical emphasis, as opposed to the social and psychological emphasis of the two preceding novels.

But the trilogy is the classic case of such extended series, perhaps reflecting a basic connection between human nature and the number three, or perhaps merely reflecting the difficulty of creating lots of variations of one theme.
Trilogies may arrive at three works for other reasons; for instance the original ''Foundation'' series was originally eight short stories and novelettes, and the division into books can be considered more or less accidental.
Trilogies differ from a triptych, which is a set of three related or connected paintings that are created at one time and designed to be viewed as a single work.

 HANKTHREE CUSSIN' BOARD - novogate.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Burroughs' Nova Trilogy is my favorite of his books (and he's my favorite author, along with David Foster Wallace).
Nova Express is the closest to the most normal of the three novels, in that there are often 8-10 pages at a time that are a fairly coherent narrative before they get sliced & diced and jumbled up again.
Like the parts in Nova Express, published in 1964, about the Nova Mob and the insectoids from the planet Minraud spreading LSD around as a way to control people and deflect their attention from what's really going on, was pretty prescient.

 Literary Encyclopedia: The Nova Trilogy
The Nova trilogy, comprised of the novels The Soft Machine (1961, revised 1966), The Ticket That Exploded (1962, revised 1967) and Nova Express (1964), constitutes American novelist William S. Burroughs' most extensive and radical experiment with narrative form.
The trilogy's characters and events emerge from large-scale patterns of linguistic recurrence, akin to the motif and refrain structure of music, rather than from realistic description or logical causality.
Thus the generic conventions governing the underlying structure of the trilogy are drawn from science fiction and, because the aliens are described in terms of organized crime as the “Nova Mob”, from the hard-boiled detective novel.

 Naked Lunch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The primary character, one might say the main character, is agent Bill Lee (a pseudonym for Burroughs — Lee was his mother's maiden name; Burroughs also appears in Kerouac's On the Road as "Old Bull Lee").
The book's structure anticipates the cut-up technique of the Nova trilogy.
The stories draw from his experiences in Tangier and his life in America, Mexico and his tour through South America following the shooting of his common-law wife Joan Vollmer.

A trilogy is a set of three works of art, usually literature or film, that are generally created at different times,that develop a single theme.
But the trilogy is the classic case of such extended series, perhaps reflecting a basic connection between human natureand the number three, or perhaps merely reflecting the fact that it's hard to create lots of variations of one theme.
Ideally, each work in a trilogy is a work which stands by itself, the trilogy adding to the overall experience.

 Bar/None Records: Arto Lindsay / Noon Chill
Part one, O Corpo Sutil, surprised and seduced a sophisticated audience around the world with its simple and heartfelt homage to the bossa nova.
Arto has suggested in interviews that these records comprise a bossa nova trilogy; at the very least, it's hard to listen to just one.
As a man for whom Brazil, as much as America, has been a home -- and for whom Portugeuse is not a second but a next-to-native tongue -- Arto brings an unmistakable ease and affection to this work.

 LiteraryCritic.com -- McCaffery's 100
Trilogy (Molloy 1953, Malone Dies 1956, The Unnamable 1957).
This novel perfectly embodies Elkin’s greatest literary accomplishment: the creation of wonderfully rich and excessive language which serves to unmask the beauty and wonder that is normally locked within the vulgar, disheartening, and ordinary aspects of contemporary life.
Auster's Trilogy introduced a new literary figure (described by Dennis Drabbelle as the "post-existential private-eye") and a form of storytelling emphasizing the formal peculiarities and epistemological quandaries of the genre while simultaneously presenting a haunting evocation of the noisy, bewildering and crowded anonymity of New York City--the only constant character in the Trilogy.

Second, the passage moves from acoustic to visual registers, from injunction to evidence, and from the realm of global commercial and power elites to a democratic viewing-space, where the rule of those elites can be contested.
The operation rewrite and nova police chapters are practically miniature masterpieces in their own right, thanks to their canny fusion of the anti-colonial revolutions and the postmodern culture-worker, and the transcription of cybernetic concepts of feedback and recursion onto geopolitics.
For the first time, the Nova Police are described not as a glorified UN peace-keeping force, but as a kind of transnational guerilla movement, located halfway between the national security states and a plethora of multinational communications, scientific, educational, and media infrastructures.

 Re: brentsatan on burroughs sources
in the early Nova Trilogy which followed Naked Lunch, the civilian defense network was called the Nova Police who were in conflict with the Nova Mob bent on destruction of the planet via nuclear warfare in the 1950s.
the whole idea behind that trilogy was the formation of a nuclear civilian defennse network which reverse the apocalyptic prerecorded recordings.
So, in the later trilogy, Burroughs poses a Manichean conflict between the a resurgent Johnson Family civilian defense network and the shits who are bent on surveillance without protection from violence empowering the normal police.

Both Sapphire and Steel and Burroughs’ Nova trilogy concern transcendental breaks, disruptions in the functions of the Human Operating System (especially its Time protocols).
However, whereas Burroughs’ Nova police are sent in to exacerbate transcendental ruptures, Sapphire and Steel’s role appears to be to repair Time anomalies.
The Concept Lab will begin by exploring this apparent tension between the two fictional systems.

 Hyperstition: February 2005 Archives
Children of the Stones is about Petros, the fl hole vampire-god of disintensifaction and intensive death, whose hunger for star-energy is similarly diagrammed in Burroughs’ Nova Trilogy.
Children of the Stones belongs to a micro-genre connecting two British seventies’ obsessions, stone circles and outer space, that might be called megalithic astropunk.
Yes, but freedom from sad passions is not the end of the story if it is at the price of a ‘happy’ passivity, a blank-eyed disengagement from all Outsides, as all (your) energy is sucked up by the ultimate interiority, the time-space implosion of Nova.
