The Cosmological Eye

First edition, first issue. Lacking dust jacket. Pastedowns darkened. Owner's name discretely stamped on inner cover. Coarse oatmeal cloth with sepia photo montage of surreal eye in clouds on front board.This collection contains a number of Henry Miller's most important shorter prose writings. They are taken from the Paris books Black Spring (1936) and Max and the White Phagocytes (1938) and were for the most part, written at about the same time as Tropic of Capricorn--the period of Miller's and Durrell's life in the famous Villa Seurat in Paris. These critical and philosophical essays, prose poems, surrealist fantasies, travel sketches, and scenarios, show Miller's passion for fiction, for telling the endless stories of his life. 363 pages.
