Product Description

Synopsis
Describes the experiences of two American writers living in Paris and their encounters with French prostitutes.

From the Publisher
One of Miller's more risqué (and at one time, banned) works. Thoroughly edited and extensively annotated. Includes a section of photographs related to Henry Miller and his work. Lavishly produced on natural, high-quality paper, and affordably priced. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Henry Miller - Fraudster., 25 Jun 2009
By Mr. Leslie Wood "Emily wants to play." (Guiseley, W Yorks, England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
How this man is seen as an incredible writer i don't know. Lawrence Durrell sums him up admirably in the footnotes. I accept that he was happy to write without recognition so the accoldaes say a lot for the critics and promoters who obviously sold on the porn angle (wonder what that is 147 degrees perhaps?)

3.0 out of 5 stars millermania, 24 Oct 1998
By A Customer
miller as always on himself in the paris-years,allthough you cannot believe him. but it's not on that level at all.it is as always the writing that takes control and pushes the man and his mind forward to.....in the edition i read it was with the beautiful fotos by brassai...by the way the danish painter/provo/director/vandalist/situationist:jens jųrgen thorsen made a film based on this book.but dont look it up,please!

5.0 out of 5 stars Henry Miller, Quiet Days in Clichy, 29 Sep 2007
By Ines Dias (Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Written in the 1940's, but only published in 1956, with photograph's from Brassaļ, his hungarian fellow on whom the character of the photographer from Tropic of Cancer was based on, is an account of Miller's Paris years in the 30's (and not in the 20's!), when, tired of living in hotels, he moves to Clichy with his friend Alfred Perles. Looking for a home, as Brassaļ described in the first of his too biographies on Miller: Henry Miller, Grandeur Nature. Though not as elaborated as the Tropics, it is a very interesting novel on the relationship between the artist and Paris during the in-between wars period, where the city becomes an important character, mainly through his encounters with prostitutes and his flānerie in the city, contrasting with his life in New York, where commodification of the individual means total alienation of the subject in general, and of the artist in particular. Unfortunately, the most recent editions of the book do not include Brassaļ's photographs, but their dialogue with the novel is very interesting and a new edition including them would be of high interest.
