Title: Not only writers can write good books.
Product review: I think there are obvious defects in the style of Huncke, he lacks focus and the ability to carry a narrative coherently to a signifigant conclusion. At times he seems to wander from one idea to another and he can repeat himself, I know this is an anthology of his writing over years, however, this book is an excellent read. It shows the esssence of writing is simple genuine expression, I am not a big beat fan, I think Ginsberg is stultifying and Kerouac entropic; albeit, I do enjoy Bill Burroughs (who adds a short preface to the anthology) because he seems so honest- spooky honest, I think his best book, because of that is Queer, and Hunke musters up the same kind of bravery within the written word. The little narratives bloom and blossom because he has the heart of truly great writer, if not the craft.
