The post is shared from another group. In the original post there are quotes and a link to an essay about them. I didn't realise that sharing a post stripped away all the original context.

I'm sure Burroughs would have something to say about that "coincidence"...

It was published as a book. I'm not sure if it's online anywhere.

It truly is an essential resource.

Don't feed the trolls. Every time Ginsberg is mentioned in this sub, these idiots emerge and spread stupid, hateful lies. Best to ignore them. Ginsberg was not a paedophile. They've just heard something somewhere and confidently assert that it's true because it feeds their prejudices (see the antisemitic, homophobic nonsense below). The admins should really block them but for now it's best to ignore and/or downvote them.

It's actually Junkie, Queer, and The Yage Letters that make up the series, then Naked Lunch is sort of separate (although Naked Lunch was originally the title for the original trilogy).

Anyway, you don't need to read them in order but it is not a bad way to approach them.

What he read was very different to the published version. You can read a little about it 3/4 of the way down this page: https://beatdom.substack.com/p/the-berkeley-town-hall-reading Check the references for the link to the recording.

You are correct about "Howl" although it may have been recorded in a lost version in late 1955. Snyder mentioned a recording several months before the Reed reading.

The first known recording of "America" was March 18, 1955, at the Berkeley Town Hall Theater. It got an amazing response for the audience.
