{"product_id":"and-the-hippos-were-boiled-in-their-tanks","title":"And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks","description":"The legendary novel whose true events inspired the film KILL YOUR DARLINGS\nIn 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0802118763\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0802118763.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Burroughs, William S.|Kerouac, Jack\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
