Author

One of America’s most provocative writers, Normal Mailer, critiques the work of one of America’s most original novelists, Henry Miller.

The book reveals as much about Mailer’s mentality as it does about the struggles and ultimate triumphs of Miller as he wrote in Paris in the 1930s. This is a challenging and stimulating read for anyone who loves how literature is born.
