Cloth; Used. As New. Dust Jacket: As New. Letters to Hoki Tokuda Miller by Henry Miller edited by Joyce Howard. First Edition First Printing. Biography.

Henry Miller described himself as a confused, negligent, reckless, lusty, obscene, boisterous, thoughtful, scrupulous, lying, diabolically truthful man…filled with wisdom and nonsense.

These letters, penned by the controversial author of Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and Black Spring, represent Henry Miller s sexual and moral summing-up. They chart the infatuation, marriage and eventual disillusionment of Miller with his fifth wife Hoki Tokuda, a talented Japanese musician almost fifty years his junior. In its almost dangerous candor and its melancholy recognition of love s failure to sustain happiness, this volume deserves to be viewed as the culminating statement of Miller s interior life.
