Description

Perhaps the most famous living American writer, truly "a legend in his own time". Henry Miller is revealed through his own words and in enlarged frames from the widely praised film documentary, The Henry Miller Odyssey, by Robert Snyder. Here is the remarkable Miller who has been called everything from a pornographer to liar to unique saint to literary superman. Here is the "diabolically truthful" Miller tracing his childhood through the streets of Brooklyn, his struggles as a writer living in Paris, working, living, playing, revisiting old haunts, reading from his books, and talking with friends Lawrence Durrell, Anais Nin, Alfred Perles, Brassai, Lawrence Clark Powell, Joe Grey. This is Henry, Henry Miller From Brooklyn includes the best portions of the film that received worldwide acclaim.
