But are you going to read the long in print version of OTR or the new typescript version? Hmm...
Those guys were my big literary mancrush replacement for Hemingway and F. Scott.
I probably screwed it up by lapping up too much biographical info on them, and this colors/kills any love I had. "When I Was Cool" by Sam Kashner did Ginsberg in for me. Shooting his own wife did Burroughs in for me.
If you haven't seen it before, there's a book called Women of the Beat Generation by Brenda Knight. Really only remember the Joyce Johnson and Elise Cowen parts. Poor Elise.
