Henry Miller's Paris
Sunday, February 26th, 2012Kreg Wallace has put together a fantastic resource for Henry Miller fans who wish to retrace the author's footsteps. Called Miller Walks (millerwalks.com), it's a clean, well-curated page with pictures, addresses of his favorite and most detested haunts, his domiciles, snippets of texts from his novels and more. It's a nice homage to Henry Miller, one of the great, if not the greatest, expat American authors to discover his muse in the city on the Seine.
