I've been reading The Ticket That Exploded intermittently for about a year. Best Burroughs I know, but so dense...

Oh really? What kind of thing do I strike you as reading? And for that matter what kind of person would strike you as reading Berlinski?

I think you'll find lots to identify with in M. Gira's The Consumer. I urge you to read it. Try Dennis Cooper, too, if you haven't already.

The content. In Gira's case, the literary equivalent of the music of SWANS. Cooper, he writes engagingly about damaged, often psychotic people.
