@@tdunph4250 Colossus is Brilliant, sexus, plexus and nexus, all great, Tropic of Capricorn and cancer. 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
@@diesekaltewelt807 Also Miller's Air Conditioned Nightmare is a very close one too. Yeah, Bukowski has been a favorite for many years. Read all of his pretty much.
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.
Evan.Hongzheng Yang Not by one quote, but I remember that he wrote, that he simply did not want to work, but I do not see it as something negative, since he did work, on his books and I am very much happy about that.
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.
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.
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!
Stupid opinion that doesn't understand a damn thing about what Henry Miller says. Henry Miller wrote against the United States as a complete shit because he saw the reality of the shit that was that country. Its essence. You have to read TROPIC OF CANCER.
I'm a really big fan of Henry Miller. Love him so much, but in one thing he is completely wrong. New York is the most beautiful city of All. Been around the world. Love NYC so much
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.
New York is today's Alexandria, today's Rome. It is the epitome of civilization, multifaceted as it is. Great parts of ancient Alexandria and Rome were slums but they were great abodes of culture, science, and the intellect of the world.

He is on a film set. Maybe 'Funny Girl'. That's why there's no one around, why he throws his coat in the street, and why he talks about how the street he's on is different - because it's from an earlier time than his

@@TaylorHockeyVideo If you read the whole book Tropico de Cancer, there is a paragraph that Henry Miller greatly extends and denounces the USA as cancer, and it seems to be the reason for such a title: NORTH AMERICA IS THE CANCER OF THE WORLD.
