Henry Miller became a famous writer. When he visited Greece, he had published four books, but few knew his books because they were banned in the US and UK (and he wasn't very rich). What kind of person does he seem like to you?

The Colossus of Maroussi
As you start to read Henry Miller's travel book, think about what Greece in the 1930s seems like as described by Miller. What kind of place is this? Also, what do you make of him as a person, as a narrator? Feel free to use this space to ask any questions that the narrative poses for you.

Are Henry Miller books still band in these times? like do they stay band forever?
ReplyDeleteIt think that probably Miller the the type of person that views the world he live in different bacause coming from a poor enviroment and having his books band he probably feels rejected from society at the time.
ReplyDeleteI oppose to what you say because Henry Miller is a writer and i do not think he should feel rejected from society as a writer he should know that not everyone will agree with what he writes.
ReplyDeleteMiguel: Good question. His banned books were finally released in the mid-1960s, some thirty years after they were written.
