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. He was also incredibly well-read. I also like Charles Bukowski and host of others. But I read mainly law now as a form of self-persecution lol

“I don’t know now whether am really awake or dreaming, my whole past seem like one long dream”

Very touching words. I feel for every human who has thrown away their lives on the same nightmare.

Pure genius.

Lets be real, Henry was a man, who did not want to work at all, but could write greatly

Henry Miller wasn't exactly reticent about being a freeloader.

Beautiful video, to learn from a man who lived and suffered. Thanks for sharing.

you can tell miller wants to go on a rant like in his books at the end hahahahaha

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.

I guess it's the same feeling that get in that years F.G.Lorca ,in his visit. Read the great "Un poeta en Nueva York", one of the best things he wrote .One thing he describes as full of life : the black culture

New York back lot, Fox Studios. Spent many hours where Henry reminisces while I was working on “Bones”. Strange because I could always feel Henry Millers’s presence there.

Yes! I assumed it was in Los Angeles since I've actually been on those backlots. I didn't know before I moved to LA and worked on set. I feel lied to.

He always had some kind of job. It’s well documented. Not enough money for lifestyle, that’s well documented too We all can relate to that.

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.

does anyone know where the videos of miller are where he talks about artists and individuality? the account was deleted think it was totem

I really like his voice.

LOVE Henry

Looks like a movie set.

Some love it, some hate it. If you go there, bring lots of money, probably more than you can afford, and don't stay too long. Then your chances of liking it improve. If you don't have money, by all means stay away from visiting the horror glut / horror deprivation that is NYC. If you live there, God bless ya!

to be fair this was probably filmed in the 1970s at the nadir of nyc, so he wasnt entirely wrong. btw in nyc you can still see the little apt house he grew up in --- its very typical --- so he wasnt all that poor.
