Henry Miller is Under my Bed:
People and Places on the Way to Paris
By Mary Duncan, Starhaven books, 2008: 166 p. paperback
Village Voice price €15, Your French News Price €14
The autobiographical account of how the author, a
university professor married to a Protestant preacher,
discovered the “sexual revolution” in the ‘60s, became a
devotee of Henry Miller and, after transiting through Playboy
Mansion West and co-founding a Shakespeare & Co.
bookstore in Moscow, eventually wound up in Paris. “Like
Henry,” she concludes this chronicle of kicking at the traces,
“I believed in living life as an individual, taking my knocks
and having a hell of a time doing it.”
