Quiet days in Clichy - Henry Miller

One of Miller's more risqu' (and at one time, banned) works. Reveals a more light-hearted and accessible side to the author of Black Spring and Tropic of Capricorn. Depicts the bohemian lifestyle he enjoyed in his younger years in Paris with a fellow aspiring writer. Thoroughly edited and extensively annotated. Includes a section of photographs related to Henry Miller and his work. Exposing the underbelly of Paris and its world of sex, prostitutes and destitution, the novel was, like most of Miller's novels, repressed in Britain and the USA due to its erotic content. Fortunately, this groundbreaking narrative, which captures the free-love spirit of a generation, has outlived its contemporary accusations of obscenity, demonstrating that stylistically and socially Henry Miller was ahead of his time.
