摘要
The Process has the dazzling impact of a drug-inspired dream and, since its publication more than thirty years ago, has established itself as a classic of twentieth century modernism. Ulys O. Hanson, an African-American professor of the History of Slavery, who is in North Africa on a mysterious foundation grant, sets off across the Sahara on a series of wild adventures. He first meets Hamid, a mad Moroccan who turns him on, takes him over and teaches him to pass as a Moor. Mya, the richest woman in creation, and her seventh husband, the hereditary Bishop of the Farout Islands, also cross his path with their plans to steal the Sahara and make the stoned professor the puppet Emperor of Africa.

A posthumous (Gysin died last summer) reprint of the 1969 keystone novel by the hipster who invented the ""cut up"" writing method adopted by his pal and sometime collaborator William Burroughs. The enthusiastic introduction from N.Y. Times rock-critic Robert Palmer proves a useful guide through the byzantine byways of this hallucinatory spiritual odyssey in the Sahara by a pot-smoking black scholar (modeled on Gysin himself, who, however, was white). With its mÉlange of grotesqueries, esoteric allusions, and mysogny coupled with gay reveries, this isn't for every taste, but Gysin's great swashes of lyricism and jazzy cut-and-paste prose will stimulate adventurous souls.
