Henry Miller
1939
Around 370 pages
Well, I hated Tropic of Cancer, so I wasn't expecting much from this particular literary venture. Henry Miller is trying his damnedest to freak us out. But I remain unfreaked.
Who the hell knows what happened in this novel. The story jumps around in time and I guess are scattered recollections from his sexual past. Usually, I appreciate good serving of a hot gossip, but I didn't really care to read about what went on in Miller's bedroom.
So we finally got this one over with and now, it's clear skies- damn, I just remembered Finnegan's Wake is coming up. Modernism is the worst.
