Weirdly, the LA Times did a story on Miller's much-reviled last wife this very morning. She apparently runs a piano bar in Tokyo called "The Tropic of Cancer." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-henry-miller-wife-20110222,0,2900937.story
A writer, ghostwriter, écrivain public, literary historian and bibliophile, I'm the author of Character Parts: Who's Really Who in CanLit (Knopf, 2003), and A Gentleman of Pleasure: One Life of John Glassco, Poet, Translator, Memoirist and Pornographer (McGill-Queen's UP, 2011; shortlisted for the Gabrielle Roy Prize). I've edited over a dozen books, including The Heart Accepts It All: Selected Letters of John Glassco (Véhicule, 2013) and George Fetherling's The Writing Life: Journals 1975-2005 (McGill-Queen's UP, 2013). I currently serve as series editor for Ricochet Books and am a contributing editor for Canadian Notes & Queries. My most recent book is The Dusty Bookcase (Biblioasis, 2017), a collection of revised and expanded reviews first published here and elsewhere.

Busty -- This is the same edition of Tropic of Cancer that I owned in our place on Melrose, back man harnessed steam. Oh boy!
ReplyDeleteMark - An interesting, if mildly depressing piece. Thanks for pointing it out. Of course, the question remains: Can she sing?
ReplyDeleteAnon - Ah, yes, I remember it well... and your copy of The Best of Modern Humor [sic].
