After reading several Henry Miller books (I'm currently reading one now) I've often wondered what his voice sounded like. I'm absolutely ecstatic to hear that it's just as I imagined it to be. I honestly feel like it was destiny that led me to his books because otherwise I'd be so lost in my own conclusions of the world and feel utterly alone in said conclusions. Thanks to whoever posted this!
I just can't get down in a few words what I have learned from the lives of" Those Miller's " Anais Nin,Hugo Guiler-mon ami.Super happiness. Always merry and bright-as much as possible in this ragged age
I tried to read BlackSpring when I was in my twenties. I couldn't "get it" at the time. I think I may have to try again. I really like Henry Miller the man.
@goback3spaces the morals of society have left you crippled! this man squeezed the earth to make the mountains a little higher and you mean to tell me that all you can focus on is how many times he said FUCK while doing it? give it another go!
@GeneLattanzi I find that 'Black Spring' has some of his best and some of his worst writing. 'The Tailor Shop' about the colorful people in his father shop is a masterpiece. 'The Fourteenth Ward' about his early childhood and 'A Saturday Afternoon' are also excellent. There's one or two others that are pretty good unfortunately most of the stories toward the last half of the book don't do anything for me.
oh i see, this is a company seeling dvds! now i understand what you mean. $180 is steep... and it's not even a documentary but an interview from either french or french-canadian television. if anyone can afford one of these they should make me a copy (and one for Ioannakis too). it'd be great to listen to him talk for an hour - but damned if i've so many australian dolars spare. a shame. a real shame.
I think America is great but the regression and false sense gets to people. That is when they pour the rest of the recipe in. It has to do with suffering and memory. The idiot repeats an action thinking it will have a different outcome. Imagine 100 times no and you know America. It is not stubbornness as much as a line you either step out of and lose a spot or else cut ahead to steal your prize. I think the hardest thing is waiting patiently for your turn. That is what we are taught and that is the law for all I know.
Tried to read TROPIC OF CANCER once. Couldn't get through it. The thing seemed awfully juvenile to me. It was all just fuck this and fuck that, the word fuck repeated endlessly, and that's all I remember. The book read as if it'd been written by an anguished fourteen year old.

He saved me at 24. Bless him is right.

"At the bottom of every frozen heart is a drop or two of blood--just enough to feed the birds." -- (paraphrase) Henry Miller, 1891-1980
Henry Valentine Miller 1891-1980, was described by Norman Mailer in his 1976 "Genius & Lust," as America's greatest living writer.

Miller, Nin n’ Bukowski with a spice of Joseph Campbell shaped the man I am tday. Hell’s Kitchen most of all bk in the 1980s.

The human intellect isn't expansive enough to fathom the workings & impetus of things metaphysical.
I guess that it is Brooklyn-French.

@nogololo Must I? I'm into Charles Bukowski these days. Have you read him? Wonderful stuff!
And pour Beatrice?
Teresa Teng was the most significant songstress of the modern era.

Even so, he should show a bit more respect towards one of the world's greatest writers.

@ricktennyson10 Didn't you make a similar comment about Henry Miller in a different video? What are you, some kind of gay troll?
One hundred and eighty dollars for an hour-long documentary? That's grotesque.
