In this assessment of Henry Miller''s life and work since his death in 1980, Brown relates how Miller embraced the native transcendentalism of Emerson, Thoreau, and especially Whitman. He shows how Miller went on to reshape the transcendental vision in daring new ways, becoming America''s foremost surrealistic writer. Banned for writing against the moral grain of the 1930s, Miller became an international sensation with the publication of such works as Tropic of Cancer and Black Spring. Until his death, Miller remained a vital force in American literature: a master of bawdy humor and dark satire. Henry Miller also left behind an autobiographical record more complete, powerful, and innovative than any of his contemporaries. ISBN 0-8044-2077-7: $14.95.
