PLEASE GIVE A BRIEF RESUME OF YOUR LIFE Discovered "spontaneous" prose and wrote, say, The Subterraneans in 3 nights -- wrote On the Road in 3 weeks -- Read and studied alone all my life. -- Am known as "madman bum and angel" with "naked endless head" of "prose". -- Final plans: hermitage in the woods, quiet writing of old age, mellow hopes of Paradise (which comes to everybody anyway)....
