La sonrisa vertical I read Tropic of Cancer a few decades ago - this book certainly has the same flavor. Our narrator is jumping from whoring to dumpster diving, back and forth. It's a bit shocking still even today - I can't quite imagine the impact at the time of publication. But it is hardly pornography. Maybe the point is that the sublime inheres in the sordid much more than in the banal. There is a kind of raw honesty here. There is a zen koan, an old woman burns down a hermitage. Do we acknowledge our sexuality, our animality, our passion, in our meditation, in our probing of the ultimate nature of reality? Perhaps these works of Henry Miller are a commentary on that koan?! Les deux courtes histoires que comporte "Jours tranquilles à Clichy" de Henry Miller nous plongent dans le Paris animé des années 1930 : bars, bordels et filles faciles, dans une ambiance tour à tour joyeuse, hystérique, désespérée, hallucinée, enivrée, érotique, lourde ou pesante, mais toujours dans une langue colorée et visuelle. Quand l'Amérique d'avant-guerre découvre la Ville Lumières. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

This tender and nostalgic work dates from the same period as Tropic of Cancer (1934). It is a celebration of love, art, and the Bohemian life at a time when the world was simpler and slower, and Miller an obscure, penniless young writer in Paris. Whether discussing the early days of his long friendship with Alfred Perles or his escapades at the Club Melody brothel, in Quiet Days in Clichy Miller describes a period that would shape his entire life and oeuvre.
