About This Item
New York : Gemini Smith / Playboy Press, (1971). First edition. The richly illustrated life and times of a much-banned author - writing, painting, California, Paris, childhood - "Today's naked generation has learned nearly everything from him - everything, that is to say, except his bookishness, his capacity for recapturing innocence, his sense of wonder, his sense of words ... Miller talking his life instead of writing it (he has written it already) ... Durrell thinks that Miller's lifework is the best confessional writing since Rousseau. He is probably right" (Anthony Burgess in the New York Times, 2nd January 1972). Foolscap folio (32cm). (208)pp. Photographs, portraits and illustrations throughout, some in colour. Original navy cloth, lettered in gilt; a very good, bright and clean copy in the Bradley Smith / Nicole de Jurenev dust-jacket - the jacket also very good, with just very minor edge-wear.
