Fantastic, thank you so much -- building parts my poetry lectures on your beautiful formulas, hope it's just a PM thing to do

GR in 8 weeks? Impressive. I could do that too, but 90% would go over my head. ;) DFW claims he read it in 8 days. I believe him.

YES.

I did a shot every time I heard "iconic" and wound up in the hopital.

Thank you for the commentary on the view Ginsberg had on pederasty never heard that about him

Mr. Pistelli I am going to become a writer and I was wondering what you would recommend I do after completing my undergrad degree. I was thinking I would go into journalism so I would be able to see the world and have something to write about. Do you think that's a good idea? Thank you for your time

Great video. Would love to know a bit more of why you're not a fan of Ginsberg et al.

Please share more videos so awesome ! I love your videos and I have met so many awesome stories and authors due to you. I hope to use it all on my own work. you are awesome !

You've clearly not read much Carver, have you?

Very clear anf helpful. Thank you.

The book might take its title from the essay but the essay takes its title from a Yeats poem, The Second Coming

Every lecturer I've listened to talk about 'Howl' has always sounded like they're writing poetry themselves. Beautiful lecture, Mr Pistelli!

You sound like Terrence McKenna

I am very excited to start reading Pynchon soon.

A clear, concise, and always interesting study of Ginsburg’s “Howl.” I am extremely grateful to Mr. Pistelli for making this available.

Great video

2000th subscriber to the channel. Yeah!

You're doing God's work mate, wonderful elucidation and your website slaps also.

10:00 i'm taking an exam next week and this is extreamly useful, thanks

The idea that Ginsberg and the Beats were "culturally appropriative and parasitic upon a Black culture that it doesn't recognize as an equal" does not seem correct. Those guys practically worshipped Black culture, including but by no means limited to the jazz players of the day. Your alleged evidence here, that the "best minds" dragging themselves through "negro streets" looking for drugs is a sign that Ginsberg looked down on Black culture, is not adequate to establish your claim. It is actually the dominant White American culture that Ginsberg hammers away at in his work. The Beats' championing of Black culture fit well with Ginsberg's leftist political roots that went back to his childhood. Communist Party propaganda in America had been attacking racism since the early 1920s.

Appreciate this! Just finished Slouching Towards Bethlehem and this provides some great context

Hello from Ukraine! Thank you for the lecture. I've just finished Pynchon collected short stories , we have the Ukrainian edition of them. Your lecture was really useful but that marriage you're have mentioned wasn't between gods, it was between nymph Thethis and a man Peleus - father of Achilles.

Not so difficult. If he mentions something you've never heard of, look it up. That's what the Internet is for.

I loved this

I enjoyed this story, got drawn here after listening to your lecture on Gluck. Are you referring to the White Paintings by Rauschenberg? What I particularly liked was that you showed how the captain was moved by art (especially the one which might be contested if it can be called art); the ending is brutal though. Excellent, there are multiple layers to the story!

Sir, I just wanted to express that I think your lectures are amazing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with the world

She described the left accurately. That’s why she’s marginalized in Norton. It’s a pretty straightforward unpersoning for thoughtcrime. Also, admiring John Wayne probably didn’t help.

can i turn in my paper late?

She was "skeptical" of The Movement? She was withering.

That was a great little story. Congratulations on the publication in Harpoon Review. I just found your channel and I'm looking forward to watching your other videos. Cheers.

This is why Pynchon is my favourite writer, in all his writings, humanity comes first

Dude. that story sounds AMAZING 😮🐈

I would say it had to do with the fact that both of those generations were more conservative and thus more realistic. I think there realistic look at the world helps make their writing much more meaningful.

I love the insight on how the smaller silent generation and Gen X produced the greatest writers.

I've listened to this multiple times. This is fantastic and never gets old. You provide valuable insight.

such a honest description! loved the lecture!

yr lesson on abstract expression and the NY school is tragique

Burroughs is more talented than Ginsberg or Kerouac?!?!?!?

Nice!!!

Very informative and interesting. Thank you!💛

tomato lyricism & chicken pops! because Zauberberg was my intro to Deutsch literature (with the unparalleled voice of Gert Westphal) very proud to catch the woman in the courtyard reference tout les deux & costume designer (costumes are for me with cinematography the only aspect of cinema that i am able to focus on)

“its” changed automatically without my supervision

“world of representation” “labyrinth of books” this contrast overlap divergence difference split is one that fascinates perplexes me if anyone could pull on these threads to weave a book fictional or not it would certainly be JP coming here from your review esp of Libra coming soon from loa a novel I was dreading to read (the events occurring in my 4th year of life, it’s conspiratorial elements seemingly overdone in media yet not without their factual impact on a nation) due to near absence of interest your essay is the first to light a fire which will at least spur an initial reading, the benefits of which will only become existent and fruitful in my remaining conscious lifetime thereafter. good luck in the culture wars keep digging a deeper trench and hanging in there until obliteration or the calvary arrives with reinforcements

Let us not forget his influence on Radiohead! W.A.S.T.E. not W.A.N.T. not.

Very well put together, very informative. Thank you.

Excellent analysis.

I was trying to find video where I canthank you for the beautiful analysis of Man-Moth, it was perfectly analized and transferred as a lecture, you can never imagine how much it helped my for my mid-term exam! Thank you so much!!

i have to finish a research about an American poet these few days , and i need your help.

How can i text you , please..

Thanks for posting this!
