Ashbery, John.

Guilty of inducing boredom as well, this sordid, ill-written memoir by a retired thief and ex-addict adds little to one's knowledge of Burroughs, Ginsberg, Kerouac and the post-World War II drug scene. Typical of Huncke's remarks are that his father was a "miserable bastard," his mother "had a pair of legs on her that were really something, and she knew how to conduct herself," and that when he smelled an onion field he "first realized that there was something beyond all our petty personal quarrels and arguments." Variously a ship's cook and deckhand, Huncke preferred burglary, thievery, street beggary, acting as a shill for pickpockets, getting paid $10 by Kinsey to talk about his sexual experiences. Now on methadone, he preaches against the use of drugs and alcohol.
