Under the Roofs of Paris ~ a tribute to Henry Miller
I wanted to share my latest tryst, a recent acquisition of a print I bought called "Under the Roofs of Paris ~ a tribute to Henry Miller" !
Under the Roofs of Paris ~ a tribute to Henry Miller
artist/ luke charchuk
It reminds me of the book I have, called "Crazy Cock" by H.M.,
ribald and full of sarciastic satyrs, written in 1927,
it is one of his few novels to feature a character other
than Henry Miller in the role of protagonist.
Tony Bring is depicted as a struggling writer with
a bourgeois background who gets enmeshed in human flesh
of an unusual love triangle when his wife's female lover
Vanya comes to live in their cramped Greenwich Village apartment,
things get too close for comfort, but not too close for pleasure...
The other book I like was an immovable feast by Ernest Hemingway,
memoirs about his years in Paris as part of the American expatriate
circle of writers in the 1920's. Apparently the Feast was quite Movable...
"I love hearing it straight from the author's gift horse in the mouth,
and Paris has always fascinated by me with his Eiffel tower, even though h
e kidnapped Helen. Maybe he should have used a Trojan horse? -- Neigh! I say!" ~ psp
