I could say a lot of very positive things about Henry Miller. I could say some very negative things about Henry Miller. I would never say his work or life were boring. Yet this book makes them seem so.

What Jay Martin has to say that's interesting could be cut down to 5 pages, the rest reads like a long unreliable and monotonous recounting of Henry Miller’s life. Please look elsewhere for a worthwhile biography of Henry Miller!

Excellent, if uncritical, biography of the controversial author, written when Miller was still alive.

Jay Martin paints a vivid portrait of Miller's life, with a gripping narrative that immerses the reader in the multicolored light of Miller's imagination.

This was recommended to me originally by a friend who said he wasn't interested in Miller's work, but found the man himself fascinating.

das ist mal ein buch aus der vergangenheit, welches ich vor vielen jahren geliebt und sogar mehrmals gelesen habe, und welches mich jetzt eigentlich kaum noch berühren konnte.
