Publisher Description
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 the blending of people and the cities they inhabit.
Customer Reviews
Beautifully descriptive, almost overwhelmingly so
I've never read a book that required me to go back and forth between it and the dictionary so frequently. To be fair, I am a newer reader and I found this book a little difficult to keep up with. The narrative structure doesn't seem to be chronological and the end of the book lost me... but with my critiques out the way, overall the imagery was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed Miller's descriptions of people and places.
I'm looking forward to rereading this in 5 years to see if more reading experience changes how his writing is received.
