Black Spring

by Henry Miller
Black Spring - Thryft
Black Spring - Thryft

Riveting reflection on Paris and Brooklyn youth.

Black Spring would be a great read for those interested in a unique perspective on Paris and Brooklyn during the early twentieth century. The book stands out for its rich portraits of people and places during Miller's youth. The way Miller vividly describes his experiences in both cities is a testament to his literary prowess and makes for an engaging read. Readers will enjoy the distinctly personal nature of the book, which is more an exploration of Miller's thoughts and feelings on his youth rather than a traditional memoir.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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.
