Henry Miller: Reflections on Writing.

Robert Snyder, 1974

[@SallyWillson-el9fz]

Every time I “come back” to Henry Miller I am inspired and transformed. Over 50 years so far.

[@bluetoad2001]

Henry was the most honest writer honest to himself and should be celebrated as a great American a national treasure

[@komicsreviewer8505]

He was an unapologetic sodomite and a sinner of the lowest deniminator.

"Tell the boss I'm quitting & I don't want my salary. I don't want anything, I want to get out. Now I'm going to write you see. But that was a beautiful walk, looking at all these poor bastards working, struggling, selling..." 9:15

I just wanna pinch his cheeks. Love Henry.

Henry Miller, Anais Nin, and Lawrence Durrell. How's this only have 20k views?

[@youknowwhoiam2771]

Because people don’t appreciate the giants of literature anymore nor the beauty of books where a writer’s soul is laid bare?

[@Hellraizorr]

As Miller says in the film (43:07), "the neurotic of today is the man of the future." Time moves on, generations die off and new ones are born, evolve and engage the world with different mindsets, see it with other eyes, describe it with different words. Old things, what previous generations thought profound, ideas once considered important evaporate into the mists of time, longings, values that 50 or 100 years ago appeared vital and foundational lose relevancy, value, importance. What was once considered highly questionable, pornographic, obscene and even threatening now seems quaint, naive, laughable, not even worth the effort to raise an eyebrow. Great books, great writers, although still profound & great, are no longer read by folks who are too impatient to read anything longer than a tweet. Besides, back in the day if a book sold 20,000 copies it was considered a success and overdue for another print run. 💪

Always a fountain of joy and inspiration, Henry Miller.

[@Hellraizorr]

A nice slice of literary history caught in celluloid like creatures from bygone eras preserved in amber. Miller is a great raconteur, often making his point with more immediate emotional impact when telling a story in person on film than even in much of what he wrote.

[@niccoloflorence]

He doesn't write, he sings, with the filth and the stench and the chaos kicking in his senses to become immortal.

[@PinkLlamaGrl]

A thrill to see this personal glimpse into the real Henry Miller. Fred Ward did him justice in Henry and June (1990).

[@ChrisPelletier73]

I’ve own and have read all of his books but before today had never heard the man speak. This was a great listen, thank you.

[@steviegaga]

Fascinating insight into a man not taken seriously for so many years of his early literary career. Bukowski. Kerouac. Miller. Chronicalers extraordinaire! Very enlightening. Thanks for uploading

[@komicsreviewer8505]

He was accused of sexism and rape by multiple women...

[@jackcrane7853]

Isnt it interesting how we always come back to these three... Maybe Thomas Wolfe and DH Lawrence should also be mentioned to complete the scene... 🎉❤😅

[@dreznik]

best -- the "peace thru surrender" reading was magnificent -- i am moving to paris!

[@ankitbd1199]

Thank you for this❤️

[@jebmorris1794]

Thank you for this!

[@theloniouscastaneda]

This is some great stuff per Mr. Miller!!! Thank you for making it available. 🙏🏻

[@mayormc]

Wonderful. Thanks for the post. Reading miller in my younger days helped propel me on a lifetime of travels.

[@christopherrobbins9985]

Very good. Henry Miller is/was an American original.

[@taramilton8695]

Overlooked in America, celebrated in his spiritual homeland Paris, France, where he found his writers voice!

[@theexpresidents]

Black Spring 👍

[@richardburton4625]

Miller was a right boy

[@rv.9658]

Anais seems regular, tame even, compared to what's in her unexpurgated diaries

[@MegaJackpinesavage]

Have read the commentaries & am surprised no one notes that the photo in your thumbnail's not of Henry Miller...by any stretch.

[@komicsreviewer8505]

Yet another fraudulent upload.

[@MegaJackpinesavage]

Am more inclined to think it's of Norman Mailer in one of his better moods.@@komicsreviewer8505

[@user-bo8eq7ki5w]

чего ? ))

[@MarlinWilliams-ts5ul]

Sounds like a Brooklyn gangster lol.

[@theexpresidents]

This is 1969 btw......not '74.

[@Misserbi]

I believe the fringe class hold cards. Imagine the debtor who realizes he is in over his head. He discovers only after he is unable to keep up that the debt could have been cleared very simply. Instead he is protested and harassed to no end and learns his sin is now the error of the leader of our country. That every time he eats it -- he loses. That is how not to approach a problem. You will always wonder who it is going to come out of next?

[@user-bo8eq7ki5w]

2:25 Издание на русском )). В 17 лет я прочитал "Тропик Рака" и ни хрена не понял ! ))))

[@niccoloflorence]

Почему? Она выдержана в том же стиле, что и в "Записках из подполья"... единственное, что здесь добавлено, - это поток сознания.
