thorough look at Miller; engaging narrator

Revisado: 06-12-14

I was more familiar with Henry Miller as an artist than an author, so it was interesting to discover all of what made up the person and his creative force. Since I think of him as prolific in his works, I found it remarkable that he lived so much of his life on a shoestring - getting by on a series of handouts from people around him that appreciated either Henry Miller the man or the author (or both). The paintings through which I knew him were really only a secondary pursuit, born out of the need to make ends meet.

The narrator is very easy to listen to, and was obviously immersed in the book himself. Because of the previous review, I was wary - but I thought he handled foreign words fine. If there was sometimes a slight differentiation in the reading of those words, I thought it only served to offer them up as unique, highlighting for the (most likely American) listener that there's something special about where and with whom this noteworthy author and artist spent his life.
