Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Henry Miller was born in Brooklyn, New York. He had a variety of jobs as a young man, including several years working for the Western Union Telegraph Company. During this time, encouraged by June Mansfield Smith, the second of his five wives, Miller began to write. Aside from articles, stories for pulp magazines and prose poems, Miller worked on his first novels ‘Crazy Cock’ and ‘Moloch’, and on the copious notes which would eventually transmute into the notorious ‘Tropics’ books.
Von der hinteren Coverseite
Written in 1940 but banned from publication until 1967, 'Quiet Days in Clichy' is Miller’s classic fictional account of his early life in Paris in the 1920s, an extravagant record of the time which inspired his great ‘Tropic’ novels. A Rabelaisian chronicle of his frantic pursuit of sex, freedom, money and food in the bars and cafes of Clinchy and Montmartre, where ‘the whores fluttered about in the dim light like perfumed fireflies’, 'Quiet Days in Clichy’' is vintage Miller – reckless, sprawling, disarmingly honest and marvellously exuberant.
“Full of zest and extravagance”
THE TIMES
“Henry Miller pressed all America’s buttons: open sexuality, the failure to believe in Progress, the courage to explode all things and let his own courageous vision thrust through.”
TIME OUT
“In rejecting conversation, a safe livelihood, the prison bars of dailiness, Miller has broken through to an exuberant joy.”
OBSERVER
Many of Henry Miller’s words are available in Flamingo, including 'Tropic of Cancer' and 'Tropic of Capricorn.'
