Henry Miller

Venice for Lovers is a memorable collaboration by two fine stylists who have fashioned their own personal homages to Venice, one with a novella, the other with a personal essay. Every year for all the thirty they have been married, Begley and Muhlstein have escaped to Venice to write. In her contribution to the book, Muhlstein charmingly describes how she and her husband dine at the same restaurant every night for years on end, and how becoming friends...

Continuing the subversive self-revelation begun in Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, Henry Miller takes readers along a mad, free-associating journey from the damp grime of his Brooklyn youth to the sun-splashed cafes and squalid flats of Paris. With incomparable glee, Miller shifts effortlessly from Virgil to venereal disease, from Rabelais to Roquefort. In this seductive technicolor swirl of Paris and New York, he captures like no one else...

In 1930 Henry Miller moved from New York to Paris, leaving behind - at least temporarily - his tempestuous marriage to June Smith and a novel that had sprung from his anguish over her love affair with a mysterious woman named Jean Kronski. Begun in 1927, Crazy Cock is the story of Tony Bring, a struggling writer whose bourgeois inclinations collide with the disordered bohemianism of his much-beloved wife, Hildred, particularly when her lover, Vanya,...

"Stille Tage in Clichy" schildert das Paris der dreißiger Jahre und beschwört eine Atmosphäre unbekümmerter, überschäumender Lebenslust. Miller beschreibt die prickelnde, melancholische Atmosphäre vom Montmartre, den verführerischen Zauber der Boulevards und Plätze, den Sog der kleinen Bars, das Halbdunkel der Seitengassen, den Charme der schäbigen Hotels und Absteigequartiere - jenes Paris, wo der Ich-Erzähler Joey und sein Freund Carl...

After the war, author Henry Miller, a U.S. Army ordnance officer, interviewed German artillery...
