Wonderful!
Brassai, being a close friend of Mr. Miller, gives a close up look at a man of great talent and masterful opinions that stirred him to write such compelling masterpieces as Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. At times Brassai even translates and explains the cryptic, confusing passages of these books that confound readers to this day in clear, understandable commentary. To understand Mr. Miller, Brassai explains, you have to understand the man.
The book continues to detail Miller's largely vagabond life, his loves, his tragic marriage, his barnacle friends, his loves and everything...even the thick, heady, danger laden environment of the dark and foggy streets of Paris. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love to read slow so as to savor every word and sentence of any book I read, however this book was so satisfying that I wolfed down the last few chapters, unable to stop, to put it down, to save ANY for later.
If there were any more stars to give, I would.
