The murder that fascinated the Beats and serves as the narrative focus of the jointly written novel "And The Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks" doesn't happen until twenty pages before the end. William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac wrote alternating chapters in 1944 in what's being billed as crime fiction. The slim novel plods along spending most of its pages on folks scrounging drinks and...
