On YouTube, there is a recording of Ginsberg (the author) reading Howl. Whenever he says something controversial, the sound of his smile/snickering can be heard. While Ginsberg might consider himself as very clever and funny, the tone is inauthentic.
This poem suffers from repetition, and the material is stale after On the Road by Jack Kerouac. Dean (Neal Cassidy) is one of the literature’s worst characters, and yet he reappears in Howl. We also hear once again about Denver, cold-water flats, jazz, and Mexico.
The positive: This book is short.
