Kill Your Darlings

The title is a reference to the often-misquoted advice of Arthur Quiller-Couch, that writers must be willing to edit out their most finely written passages if they fail to serve the piece as a whole: "Murder your darlings."

The story is about the college days of some of the early members of the Beat Generation (Lucien Carr, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Jack Kerouac), their interactions, and Carr's killing of his long-time friend David Kammerer in Riverside Park in Manhattan, New York City.

Alliteration

   "Claude G. Bowers, distinguished American diplomat, talking to the Phi Beta Kappa chapter at Yale said, 'The American Democracy is mobilized today to wage a war of extermination against privilege and pillage. We prime our guns against bureaucracy and plutocracy.' 'Privilege and pillage,' 'bureaucracy and plutocracy' are ringing phrases because of the alliteration."

Why Kurt Vonnegut Thought Bill Gates an Anathema to Humanity

"Gates or Steve Jobs have built online avenues for human flourishing and social organising, but they’re also billionaires who helped maintain the wealth disparities, crippling mobility and living standards to nihilist collapse."

“ 'Electronic communities build nothing,' Vonnegut proclaimed in 2005’s A Man Without a Country. 'You wind up with nothing. We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something.' ”
