APPENDIX - Defense of the Freedom to Read, Chronology, Bibliography. ***'In 1958, to the surprise of those people who had known of him only as the author of banned books, Henry Miler was elected to the American Institute of Arts and Letters. At that time he was welcomed by his fellow writers as "the veteran author of many books whose originality and richness of technique are matched by the variety and daring of his subject matter. His boldness of approach and his intense curiosity concerning man and nature are unequalled in the prose literature of our time." ***The material which has been selected by Lawrence Durrell for this representative anthology traces the main line and principal themes of the "single, endless autobiography" which is Henry Miller's life work. It includes extracts from a dozen different books including several which are still banned in England: Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Sexus and Plexus.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the first UK edition in nice collectable condition. An anthology tracing the principal themes of Henry Miller's life work, divided into sections according to the titles; 'Places', 'Stories', 'Literary Essays' and 'Portraits'. Miller contributes a commentary on each essay fitting it into context of his life story. Also includes a chronology of Miller's life, a bibliography and part of an opoen letter protesting the ban of 'Sexus'. Uncommon in this condition now. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. FitzClarence (Jacket design) (illustrator).
