I haven't read anything by Miller but when this audiobook came across my desk at the library I thought I'd give it a try. I don't know if it was the narrator or the content, but it started sounding a little too Hemingway-esq for my tastes (and I like Hemingway): He-man literary type in Paris drinking wine and having sex with lots of name dropping in between. ( ) A not-so-Moveable Feast This is an abandoned sequel to Nexus which was to continue the journey of Mona and Val (the fictional proxies of June and Henry Miller) as they first journey to Paris together in 1928 and then on to other parts of Europe. Publishing it now (in English in 2012, in French in 2004) might have had some historical gossip value but the fictionalized characters that the couple meet are generally not that interesting. One of the characters, Carl, may have been partially based on poet Robert W. Service. Service mentions an encounter with Miller where they did discuss other writers similarly to how Carl talks with Val in Paris 1928 (see http://robertwservice.blogspot.ca/2015/05/henry-miller-1891-1980.html). sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Es un suplemento deNexus por Henry Miller
"That night I didn't sleep a wink. It wasn't the bedbugs that kept me awake, it was Europe, the horror and misery, which penetrated it through and through." Henry Miller's Nexus was censored fifty years ago, while Miller and his publishers fought for freedom of speech. Nexus II was never published, and looks at his first trip to Paris and Europe in 1928, a world on the edge of the great depression. Paris 1928 collates these unpublished memoirs as Henry Miller wished, together with the censored pages from Nexus. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
