When I first read Tropic of Capricorn when I was 19 (I'm 63 now), I felt as though this man had pulled up a chair alongside me and simply started to speak to me as though I were his confidant, a rare and very remarkable experience, that. I've been a fan ever since, even taking the pilgrimage to his cabin in Big Sur many years ago, and I also visited his wife's bar (with one of Henry's paintings hanging above the toilet) when I lived in Japan; he is an absolute treasure.
Same - 11 for me, Miller is so important to me.. I wish I could have lived during his existence to write to him.. luckily, Yale sent me a ton of his original drafts / letters etc, I bought his first prints all around Paris and Canada, I have so much to go through of his - but still, it’s a shame we don’t seem to have many recordings.. Thankfully though; a ton of written work. And this gem interview, a return to it like a sacred doctrine.
@@clownpaint20 Miller was "just a boy from Brooklyn" y yo tambien. I have read everything he ever wrote and almost everything written about him. Muy contento que yo puedo habitar en Paris pendiente 50 anos.😃

@11:29 "this breakfast lunch sort of thing"
You know, someone really should make a word for that. Perhaps... if you combined the two... hmm...
One of the best American writers, no doubt!!

Miller speaks as well as he writes.
One of my favorites. From Brooklyn to Paris to Big Sur - lived life to the fullest!
And he shoulda won the Nobel for Literature.
@@vogparis09 this is the most true statement I’ve heard, in a long time.
@@clownpaint20 Saul Bellow and Isaac Singer both said that Miller deserved it before they did.
@@vogparis09 omg, that honestly even makes it better 😮 writes like this only come around every 50 to 100 years
