Myhi | Jul 2, 2009 |  Henry Miller's Black Spring, like Tropic of Cancer, is a feverish narrative filled with images from the gutter, both beautiful and terrifying. Unlike Cancer, Black Spring is composed of several short pieces and some are better than others. Though not quite the stunning revelation of Miller's most infamous work, Black Spring is a fascinating look into the mind of one of America's greatest modern writers. (  ) poetontheone | May 21, 2009 | Important literary figure, he really must be read... I find him dull, but this is definitely a minority opinion. (  ) amandrake | May 29, 2008 | This is from the 'tropic' trilogy. it's great to read someone who is full of the joy of living and writes in an uninhibited and unabashed way, about practically anything that takes his fancy. You read his book you feel like you're getting to know the whole man - becoming intimate like a friendship. I have a close friendship with Henry Miller's books.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0802131824, Paperback)Continuing the subversive self-revelation begun in Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, Henry Miller takes readers along a mad, free-associating journey from the damp grime of his Brooklyn youth to the sun-splashed cafes and squalid flats of Paris. With incomparable glee, Miller shifts effortlessly from Virgil to venereal disease, from Rabelais to Roquefort. In this seductive technicolor swirl of Paris and New York, he captures like no one else the blending of people and the cities they inhabit.

Absolutely new, out of common, vulgar, extremely indecent... great pieces of work though ! No wonder they were all prohibited in US, for years... Not the kind of books you would hear in school about. (
