Ok, I have had this picture on my computer for a while now and I need some help figureing out who 4 of the writers are. I know Thompson, Burroughs, Bukowski and Kerouac are but who are the others?

Is The Bottom Second From Left Norman Mailer?

[Freakshow]

All the rest are Thomas Pynchon.

F_S gets a cupcake.

[Fat_Sunny]

Also, The Top Row, 2nd From Right. Fat Could Swear That's Alton Benes. Don't You Think???

Oh Wait, That Was Already Asked In Another Thread!

Top, second from the left is Patti Smith.

Top, second from the left is Patti Smith.


And Mikeyboy gets a cupcake.

I can't tell if that is Sylvia Plath or not. I think it is but I can't find a photo that leaves not doubt.

3rd in the top row: Mickey Spillane

[Furtherman]

I wish I had a Sylvia Plath....

[Recyclerz]

All the rest are Thomas Pynchon.

Like TJ, I'm thinking Spillane on top second from right but if that is a real picture from the 50's/early '60's I think he would look younger than he does there.

& I'm pretty sure the '50's dame on the bottom isn't Plath or Harper Lee. I'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon trying to figure this out. Damn you Boondock Saint!

[boobieman]

Top left....Marcia..the hotty

Center...ALice..the fat ass

Bottom right...Bobby

Thats all I know.

SEEYYA!!!

[BoondockSaint]

I finally remembered that I got the picture from a NY Times article and found the answers:

Clockwiswe from top left: Hunter S. Thompson, Patti Smith, Mickey Spillane, Charles Bukowski, Jack Kerouac, Grace Paley, Norman Mailer, Henry Miller .

Here's the article if you want to read it:

'The Outlaw Bible of American Literature': The Rebel Establishment (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/17/books/review/17COVERGATES.html?ex=1181966400&en=5f52503797dbc6a8&ei=5070)

It was from a NY Times Book Review for ''The Outlaw Bible of American Literature''
The writers pictured are supposed to be outlaws. I linked the article a few posts up if you want to read it.

[Chigworthy]

Really? I thought it was Burroughs.

Burroughs was always thin as a rail.
