Quiet Days in Clichy: Henry Miller

`Here, even if I had a thousand dollar in my pocket, I know of no sight which could arouse in me the feeling of ecstasy`

Looking back to Henry Miller`s bohemian life in 1930s Paris, when he was an obscure, penniless writer, Quiet Days in Clichy is a love letter to a city. As he describes nocturnal wanderings through shabby Montmartre streets, cafes and bars, sexual liaisons and volatile love affairs, Miller brilliantly evokes a period that would shape his entire life and oeuvre.
