Claire Fallon from Huffington Post has just published an amazing interactive chart that brings all famous writers together – well, at least when it comes to trashing each other’s publications.

One quote as a teaser. Truman Capote on Jack Kerouac: “That’s not writing, it’s typing.”

Below, you’ll see just a picture of the chart. Make sure to visit the original interactive chart and mouse over the arrows between authors to read a cutting insult directed by one to the other.
