Selected by Indie Booksellers for the December 2008 Indie Next List
“Unlike most rediscovered works by well-known authors, this collaboration between two of the best-known Beat writers is well done and extremely readable. Based on actual events and told in alternating chapters, this will not disappoint fans of either writer.”
-- Carol Schneck, Schuler Books & Music, Okemos, MI


Description
Published for the first time more than 60 years after it was written, "And The Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks" is a remarkable piece of American literary history that brings to life a shocking murder at the dawn of the Beat Generation.
