About this Item
An autograph note, "For Dr. E. F. Chamberlin / To celebrate the removal of a tooth. Good wishes! / Henry Miller / 11/22/1944 Approx 4.5 by 4.5 inches, written on cream paper in gray/black ink. Now handsomely matted and glazed in a fine gilded frame. In very fine condition and handsomely presented. AN SIGNED AND DATED AUTOGRAPH PRESENTED BY AMERICAN AUTHOR HENRY MILLER. This note was written early on during his time living in Big Sur, California after returning to the United States from the expatriate days in Paris and Greece. His most famous works, the "Tropic" books, were being published in France but continued to be banned in America, even as Miller worked on the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy. Miller was best known for breaking existing literary forms and creating a new kind of "autobiographical novel" thick with social commentary, explicit language, and sex and heavily reliant on stream-of-conscious and free expression. His most famous works of this kind, Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Tropic of Capricorn and The Rosy Crucifixion trilogy, would all remain banned in the United States until 1961!.
