On Henry Miller: Or, How to Be an Anarchist Hardcover - 2018

by John Burnside


From the rear cover

"Exploring Henry Miller's reputation and work and making the case for his relevance today, John Burnside has written a lively, engaging appreciation with an exhilarating, globe-trotting literary range."--Kasia Boddy, University of Cambridge

"John Burnside, a remarkable writer, vividly shows his affinities with Henry Miller. Paralleling Miller's style, Burnside is impressionistic, digressive, hyperbolic, and sometimes outrageous. He argues that Miller wrote to 'find out if books can help us to live better, ' and this is Burnside's aim too. Burnside and Miller make a good match."--Jay Martin, Claremont McKenna College
