Edges lightly rubbed and foxed. 1978 Hard Cover. xi, 560 pp. "Practically everything bohemian Miller's ever written has been about himself--so any attempt at biography is almost automatically placed in a competitive position. Martin gives it his all. The life boils down to three basic stages. A miserable existence until age 35, working for Western Union as a dispatcher, not yet writing, and suffering like a Marcel over Albertine-like, gold-digging June, second wife of an eventual run of five. Then, Paris: relief at being free and an explosion of bohemianism--Tropic of Cancer. Finally, the return to America: more poverty (not until he was 60 did Miller earn more than $3000 a year), but success growing on the slopes of scandal; the censorship trials; fame; Big Sur; guruhood thrust on a man who remained a German-meticulous romantic hoping to make up for a life haft down the tubes. Martin is nothing if not sympathetic; Miller's own terms, so massively spelled out in his books, are the ones in operation here. To the point that-and this is where readers will divide over this book-Martin consciously writes like Miller: all the obscenity, corny metaphysics, and baroque sufferingartist stuff.

Santa Barbara: Capra Press, Date: 1978. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Review copy, with the publisher's slip and other material laid in. Signed by Jay Martin on the title page, with an autograph letter signed by Henry Miller on his Pacific Palisades letterhead and another by Jay Martin laid in. Miller writes, "No, I do not share your enthusiasm for Jay Martin's unauthorized biography. I told him not to write it. He adds nothing to rebut what I have written about myself except phony rumors, false imaginings, etc. etc." In his letter, Martin writes, "How nice of you to write about Always Merry and Bright - it's always good to hear from one of Henry's friends that the book rings true - most especially since Henry never believed that a faithful portrait of himself could be drawn..." Both letters are addressed to Dr. Robert Macy, a Southern California osteopath who owned a second home in Big Sur, where he befriended Henry Miller, Alan Watts, and other writers and artists. Octavo: [xv], 560 p. with textual photographs. Original red paper-covered boards over a black cloth spine, with gilt titles. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. 1978.
