Henry Miller described himself as a confused, negligent, reckless, lusty, obscene, boisterous, thoughtful, scrupulous, lying, diabolically truthful man...filled with wisdom and nonsense. These letters, penned by the controversial author of Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and Black Spring, represent Henry Miller's sexual and moral summing-up. They chart the infatuation, marriage and eventual disillusionment of Miller with his fifth wife Hoki Tokuda, a talented Japanese musician almost fifty years his junior. In its almost dangerous candor and its melancholy recognition of love's failure to sustain happiness, this volume deserves to be viewed as the culminating statement of Miller's interior life.
Some time after Miller's death, Hoki Tokuda Miller asked Joyce Howard to work on the correspondence, and make a selection from the hundreds of letters, cards, photos and articles which Henry had bequeathed Hoki.
Some time after Miller's death, Hoki Tokuda Miller asked Joyce Howard to work on the correspondence, and make a selection from the hundreds of letters, cards, photos and articles which Henry had bequeathed Hoki. This collection of letters makes Henry Miller look like a pathetic old geezer. Miller, who if you read multiple biographic works on him, never was much of a "real person", but some kind of morphic creature who would become fascinated with something for a while & his entire existence would be geared towards that thing.
These letters, penned by the controversial author of Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, chart the infatuation, marriage, and eventual disillusionment of Miller with his fifth wife, a talented Japanese musician almost 50 years his junior.
Henry Miller, American novelist, was born in 1891 in New York City. His most famous works, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, were written while Miller was an expatriate living in Paris and were originally published in France in the mid-1930s. At that time, the two books were widely considered obscene in the United States, and they were banned from sale there until 1961. Some of Miller's other works include The Colossus of Maroussi and Big Sur and the Oranges of Heironymus Bosch
