Literary Hate Crimes

.

Enjoy this Times review of Poisoned Pens, Gary Dexter's book on authors disparaging other writers' works.

The review lacks, to my faint dismay, Truman Capote's splendid, accurate, apt execration of Jack Kerouac's monotonous, dismal On The Road: "This isn't writing. This is typing."
