Synopsis "And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks (in English)"

The legendary novel whose true events inspired the film KILL YOUR DARLINGS In the summer of 1944, a shocking murder rocked the fledgling Beats. William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, both still unknown, we inspired by the crime to collaborate on a novel, a hard-boiled tale of bohemian New York during World War II, full of drugs and art, obsession and brutality, with scenes and characters drawn from their own lives. Finally published after more than sixty years, this is a captivating read, and incomparable literary artifact, and a window into the lives and art of two of the twentieth century's most influential writers.

Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouack, más conocido como Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) es el novelista más destacado y emblemático de la Generación Beat. Su obra narrativa encarnó las experiencias y deseos de libertad de esa generación, espíritu plasmado mayormente en su célebre libro En el camino (1957). Poco después indagó en el budismo, experiencia que da forma a otro de sus libros más famosos: Los vagabundos del Dharma (1958). Además de la narrativa, también escribió poesía. Es reconocido por su prosa espontánea.

William S. Burroughs
  (Author)
View Author's Page
William Seward Burroughs (1914-1997) es una figura legendaria de la literatura norteamericana de este siglo, un escritor comparado con Villon, Rimbaud y Genet. Tanto su vida como su obra, de un pesimismo total y un sombrío sentido del humor, reflejan una actitud de rebelión permanente contra la sociedad convencional. Homosexual, drogadicto durante muchos años, amigo e ídolo de Kerouac y Ginsberg, se le considera el gran «gurú» de la generación beat, pese a su negativa a ser incluido en ella.
