A snow-crowned edifice

Henry miller, Hunter Thompson, Charles Bukowski, Allen Ginsberg. Take the least talented among them, take that raw talent and halve it. Then take that aged sage portrait you have of them in your mind after they got really famous and grew facial hair and rewind to when they were little more than an intelligent, dysfunctional, teenager with fire in their belly and you get an idea of what you're dealing with. The novel has potential, especially in the 16-25 market but be gentle, i'm thinking it's probably still in it's novel-womb.
