Continuing the subversive self-revelation begun in Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, Henry Miller takes readers along a mad, free-associating journey from the damp grime of his Brooklyn youth to the sun-splashed cafes and squalid flats of Paris. With incomparable glee, Miller shifts effortlessly from Virgil to venereal disease, from Rabelais to Roquefort. In this seductive technicolor swirl of Paris and New York, he captures like no one else the blending of people and the cities they inhabit.

Warning: This review is long, has excessive amount of quotes, and does not reach much of a conclusion. If you have a short attention span, this may not be for you. However, if you appreciate fine writing, I encourage you to read on. For me, Henry Miller is the finest writer America has produced over...
Miller is my favourite when it comes to sharing a quote. I haven't read this book yet but I've already started quoting from it.
I started reading Miller' books from this one. And it definitely deserves the time you spend on it.
After being so impressed by Tropic of Cancer, I thought everything I was going to read would be equally good. Well, I guess I was wrong. Shouldn't have bothered.
