About this Item

Love and How It Gets That Way (Note: written expressly for Miriam Cendrars) (Pacific Palisades November 1, 1961). A 29 page type-script WITH 21 INK CORRECTIONS IN MILLER S HAND. Some browning to first and last pages and edges, some creasing and closed tears to title page and final page. This type-script came from Miller s Danish publisher,Hans Reitzel. A typical Miller esay discussing the sexes particularly his view on women. His revealing insights into women s psychology are equally revealing as fas as Miller s own character is concerned: But women don t want to hear things to the bitter end; they want results, immediate results, not judicial dispensations/ Above all, they wants acts, proofs of affection. Proofs! [underlined] The moment I hear the word I am lost, defenseless. It is simply not in my nature to give proofs, whether of affection of any other kind. For me all is clear and demonstrable or else hopelesly inexplicable. I behave as if to give proof constituted an admission of guilt. I am never GUILTY. Provenance: Miriam Cendrars, correspondent of Miller and daughter of Blaise Cendrars who was a friend of Henry Miller s in Paris. As good as these things get. Seller Inventory # 355490711506
