The candid way Burroughs could describe these taboo things people in general tend to try so hard to ignore strikes me as more exciting than disturbing.

Personally, I would find it way more disturbing NOT to read about such things.

yes, i see your point... maybe disturbing is not the right word... but at times it can be emotionally draining to face burroughs' fictionalized fascist america... and it is certainly disturbing to contemplate the real fascist america....
