  “older miller, so it's a chill/reflective type of read, rather than the hot/sexy stuff he wrote in his younger years”

  “this book is two short - by miller standards - pieces about meeting a woman. as you know meeting a woman is a loaded and heated event for miller loaded with descriptive words rarely seen in print. i think these pieces, which were re-written by miller in 1956 have a cleaner dialog structure than his earlier work and lend themselves to an easier read - its lighter. i love the challenge of miller but sometimes realize that after 10 pages on one paragraph, the already freely expounding prose to be more difficult on to read - this book is like a refreshing snippet of his denser work.”

  “I’ve tried to read Tropic Of Cancer, Crazy Cock, one of the ones that end in –us (Nexus/Sexus/Plexus) and have always given up about half way through. For Henry Miller this is a very short book, about three times shorter than any of the aforementioned. I wonder whether he is better suited to this short format or perhaps its just that this book is somehow different in prose to the rest of his writing, because this one I’ve read twice which beats halfway through by four! (Maths, see.) I’d suggest that anyone who also finds some indefinable stumbling block in Miller should give this naughty little thing a go and you may be pleasantly surprised to enjoy it.
