Title: Typing, not writing
Review: The topic is fascinating, but this book is so poorly written and poorly edited that it's a wonder it was published at all. The author has few insights, writes repetitively, and seems to have forgotten details that occurred in his life almost 30 years ago when the events described are said to have taken place. I love the Beats and find both Ginsberg and Burroughs inspiring; it's a shame Kashner fails utterly to capture their importance as writers and people. Better to read them in the original than this shlock.
