Quiet Days in Clichy by Henry Miller
Written in 1940 but banned from publication in England, this book gives a fictional account of the writer's early life in Paris in the 1920s, on a frantic pursuit of sex, freedom, money and food in the bars and cafes of Clichy and Montmartre.Henry Miller was born in Brooklyn, New York. He had a variety of jobs as a young man, including several years working for the Western Union Telegraph Company. During this time, encouraged by June Mansfield Smith, the second of his five wives, Miller began to write. Aside from articles, stories for pulp magazines and prose poems, Miller worked on his first novels ‘Crazy Cock’ and ‘Moloch’, and on the copious notes which would eventually transmute into the notorious ‘Tropics’ books.
