Henry Miller in Bug Collectors (January 2015)

Reviews

A great collection of table talk, but the book itself is a torso. The best version is What Doncha Know about Henry Miller, which contains a lengthy memoir by Twinka Thibaud along with the text of Reflections.

Surprisingly shocking given it’s 90! years old. Herman Miller just doesn’t give a fuck if you whore of a reader enjoys his meanderings. (See what I did there)
