Norman Mailer thinks William Burroughs is a genius, which I think is ludicrous beyond words. I don't think William Burroughs has an ounce of talent.
Truman Capote

If you weren't here, if you could be anywhere you wanted to be, doing anything you wanted to do, where would you be and what would you be doing?
Truman Capote
Image
She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains paradox.
