The Wisdom of the Heart by Henry Miller
An essential collection of writings, bursting with Henry Millers exhilarating candor and wisdom
"I think he’s the greatest American writer" -- Bob Dylan
"Here is an artist who re-establishes the potency of illusion by gaping out at the open wounds, by courting the stern, psychological reality which man seeks to avoid through recourse to the oblique symbolism of art." -- Anaïs Nin
"There is an eager vitality and exuberance to the writing which is exhilarating; a rush of spirit into the world as though all the sparkling wines have been uncorked at once; we watchfully hear the language skip, whoop and wheel across Miller’s page." -- William H. Gass - The New York Times Book Review
