Nine literary experts testified to the redeeming social value of Howl, and, after a lengthy trial, the judge ruled that the poem was of “redeeming social importance.”Ībove, we give you Ginsberg reading Howl in 1959. US customs officials seized the copies, and California prosecutors tried City Lights founder Lawrence Ferlinghetti and his partner, Shigeyosi Murao, on obscenity charges that same year. Things got dicey when City Lights published the poem in 1956, and especially when they tried to import 520 printed copies from London in ’57. (James Franco reenacted that moment in the 2010 film simply called Howl.) Ginsberg first read the poem aloud on October 7, 1955, to a crowd of about 150 at San Francisco’s Six Gallery. The controversial poem became his best known work, and it now occupies a central place in the Beat literary canon, standing right alongside Jack Kerouac’s On the Road and William S.

What was your experience reading Evicted? Were you surprised by what you learned? Was any particular scene or character’s story emotionally painful for you to witness?ģ. ![]() Have you ever been evicted or do you know anyone who has? If the answer is yes, what was your/their experience like, and how has it affected your/their life?Ģ. Nothing else this year came close.”- Jennifer Senior, New York Times Critics’ Top Books of 2016ġ. The book is that good, and it’s that unignorable. You will also have the mad urge to press it into the hands of every elected official you meet. After reading Evicted, you’ll realize you cannot have a serious conversation about poverty without talking about housing. It regally combines policy reporting and ethnography, following eight families in Milwaukee as they struggle to find that most basic human necessity: shelter. ![]() “I’ve come to think of Evicted as a comet book - the sort of thing that swings around only every so often, and is, for those who’ve experienced it, pretty much impossible to forget. ![]() But I would like to claim him as a journalist too, and one who, like Katherine Boo in her study of a Mumbai slum, has set a new standard for reporting on poverty.” -Barbara Ehrenreich, New York Times Book Review ![]() “Astonishing…Desmond is an academic who teaches at Harvard-a sociologist or, you could say, an ethnographer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The first big problem is the way Bowman approached the introduction and characterization of Liluye, an Apache whom Kate rescues from a burning building and then engages as a “scout” while searching for a mythical gold mine.

There were some moments of soul-baring and sentimentality that felt off with the rest of the text, but by and large I believed in Vengeance Road and Kate’s story. ![]() And for much of the story, the concept works well. Kate is an angry girl with a cause, and Bowman doesn’t pretend otherwise. It is, of course, a story with a lot of grit and blood and shooting and revenge-these are things that come with the territory.
