Sterminatore! e altri testi (in English: Exterminator! and Other Stories) by William S. Burroughs, as published by Sugar Editore (Milan) in 1969. This easily is viewed as an Italian-language edition of Exterminator! (as published in 1973 by Viking), but dates four years earlier and has very different content. This is not the same book as either Exterminator! or the later-published (also by Sugar Editore) Johnny 23.

Contents include:

  • "Exterminator!"
  • "Jonny 23" [In Exterminator!: "Johnny 23"]
  • "Mary dalle fette salate" ["Salt Chunk Mary"]
  • "L'ultimo tendone sbatte sul pontile" ["Last Awning Flaps on the Pier"!]
  • "Testo composito" ["Composite Text"]
  • "Angolo viale magico" [roughly "Magical Avenue Corner" – I have not identified this in English]
  • "Chi è il terzo che cammina a fianco a te" ["Who is the Third that Walks Beside You?"]
  • "Nastro della domenica della palme" ["Palm Sunday Tape"]
  • "Il giorno che le schede saltarono in aria" ["Day the Records Went Up"]
  • "Via degli Scrivani" ["Scribe Street", not published in English, AFAICT]
  • "Un trattamento che cancella la tossicomania" ["A Treatment that Cancels Addiction"]
  • "Un regolatore metabolico" ["APO-33: A Metabolic Regulator"]
  • "Le avventure di Harry il pulito" ["The Adventures of Harry the Clean", not published in English, AFAICT]
  • "Scientologia rivisitata" ["Scientology Revisited"]
Maynard & Miles correctly notes that the book is different at D34.
Not in Shoaf.
Schottlaender mistakenly lists it under the Italian translations of Exterminator! at v4.D29.
