Ginsberg later captioned this photograph as "'Now Jack I warned you far back as 1945, if you keep going home to live with your 'Memère' you'll find yourself wound tighter and tighter in her apron strings till you're an old man and can't escape...' William Seward Burroughs camping as an André Gide-ian sophisticate lecturing the earnest Thomas Wolfean All-American youth Jack Kerouac who listens soberly dead-pan to 'the most intelligent man in America' for a funny second's charade in my living room one night, 206 East 7th Street, Apt. 16, Manhattan, one evening Fall 1953."
