One of Miller's earliest books,and considered to be the second in the Tropics trilogy, this is a collection of short sketches by a young Henry Miller using the mature writer's voice that makes him such a powerful speaker. With pieces like "The Angel is My Watermark", a hilarious self-portrait of Miller in Paris suffering an excess of artistic inspiration, to a tender reminiscence of his father's New York tailor shop, this book contains a side to Henry Miller rarely seen through the publicity but known to his careful readers; a side that is philosophical, spiritual, and funny. It remains one of Miller's best and most enduring books.
