Quiet Days in Clichy (check out Country Joe MacDonald's song), Black spring, the Books in my life. Its (Sexus etc) not porn, I guess he was part of the generation of writers that "told all" every sordid detail, he covered the whole gamut thats why his work is compelling.

@brandonterzic3 жыл бұрын
the string music at the end... makes me think of black and white movies and the generation that Henry grew up in. When he wrote what he did it was dangerous, on multiple levels. Henry can riff with the best o em, sometimes he gets going on his mental speed bag and sparks start to fly; new ideas drop down from the skies and he is able to transport the reader into a new psychological domain. A true master...and most importantly hilarious! What a sense of humor.

Henry Miller and Man Ray were both from Brooklyn and ended up in Paris around the same time. Interestingly Miller’s starving writer crowd had a low opinion of the Dadaists and while Ray had a successful fashion and portraiture photo gig the two traveled in different bohemian circles. They did end up becoming friends in the 40s in Los Angeles and “bonded” for a time as mutual “refugees in LA” neither of whom owned a car…LOL. Neither ever really returned to NY.
