And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks

Now, for the first time, this legendary collaboration between two of the twentieth century's most influential writers is being released. A fascinating piece of American literary history and a remarkable window into the personal lives of two hugely influential writers, who, at the very beginning of their careers, sat down to write a novel about the summer of 1944, when one of their friends killed another in a moment of brutal and tragic bloodshed.
