Getting “Face To Face With Henry Miller” on a rainy day-to-read-a-book morning in Los Angeles.
The Idiot began reading a copy of the thin volume entitled “Face To Face With Henry Miller” that was lent to him at a dinner in Los Angeles last night.
Georges Belmont’s interviews with Henry Miller were recorded in Paris in 1969. The book was published in French in 1970 (“Henry Miller — Entretiens de Paris avec Georges Belmont”) and in English in 1971. Although The Idiot was living in Paris at the time, he had never read the enticingly revealing conversations until today.
This particularly rare copy was “borrowed” from a library in South Africa in October 1978.
