And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks by William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac

A fascinating fictionalised account of the murder of David Kammerer by Lucien Carr, with literary license, written in alternating chapters by Burroughs and Kerouac from their point of view. There is a lot of naivite and not very good writing, but this previously unpublished book written by the pair before they became the Beat Generation with Junky and On The Road is interesting in terms of seeing their literary development.
