Truman Capote once said of Jack Kerouac "that's not writing, that's typing". To which I respond, that's not a recreational center, that's a waste disposal site.

Still immensely famous

Largely forgotten
I wonder if he's still seething in hell

It's okay, you were wrong about him being "largely forgotten", just take the L and move on.

>literary influence
They're both about the same but I'd give more weight to Capote's influence due to his impact on New Journalism and True Crime. Kerouac is a phase people go through in their teens and early 20s.

Hemmingway once said that Willa Cather's One of Ours was a book about war, by someone who had obviously never seen war, to which I say: Hemmingway's "Islands in the Stream" is like a Steven Segal movie.
