I don't care if writers are dicks, it's the writing which is the text, not the writer.
The death of the author and all that.

yeh but i wasnt asking about the text

True, you asked about the writer.
I haven't studied the personal histories of these writers (well, except for Burroughs) but I don't really see any value in describing dead writers as 'dicks'. I'm only bothered about the quality of their output.

I don't know if they were dicks.
Burroughs was a pederast, a junky and killed his own wife. But he seemed quite cool, and he wrote some astounding books.

Was he a dick?

i reckon he wasnt as much a dick as bukowski but still a bit of a dick
