“Flannery O'Connor had a certain genius. I don't think John Updike has, or Norman Mailer or William Styron, all of whom are talented, but they don't exceed themselves in any way. Norman Mailer thinks William Burroughs is a genius, which I think is ludicrous beyond words. I don't think William Burroughs has an ounce of talent.” William S BurroughsNorman MailerWilliam StyronFlannery O ConnorJohn Updike Book:Conversations with Capote Source: Conversations with Capote
