false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170373946m/51089.jpg 51089 9 <div>Continuing the subversive self-revelation begun in Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, Henry Miller takes readers along a mad, free-associating journey from the damp grime of his Brooklyn youth to the sun-splashed cafes and squalid flats of Paris. With incomparable glee, Miller shifts effortlessly from Virgil to venereal disease, from Rabelais to Roquefort. In this seductive technicolor swirl of Paris and New York, he captures like no one else the blending of people and the cities they inhabit.</div> 1190917 1937 Black Spring total:734|5:230|4:251|3:184|2:57|1:12| 734 2832 1008 49 51089 0802131824 9780802131829 724 49 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170373946m/51089.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51089.Black_Spring 4 1 false Thu Sep 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Feb 17 11:37:42 -0800 2008 Wed Sep 24 16:19:43 -0700 2008 In the heat of the late afternoon the city rises up like a huge polar bear shaking off its rhododendrons.

For me, this wraps up the trilogy of novels that Miller wrote for Obelisk Press in the 30’s. It’s really nowhere near the greatness of Cancer and Capricorn, as some parts are completely unreadable, like "Into the Night Life." The book is a conglomeration of...more...]]> 51089 0802131824 9780802131829 724 49 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170373946m/51089.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51089.Black_Spring 1 1 false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Sep 03 06:59:32 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 11 14:51:52 -0700 2008 51089 0802131824 9780802131829 724 49 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170373946m/51089.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51089.Black_Spring 5 0 false Tue Aug 12 18:57:37 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 19:12:36 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 12 18:57:37 -0700 2008 more...]]> 51089 0802131824 9780802131829 724 49 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170373946m/51089.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51089.Black_Spring 3 0 false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 21 09:32:08 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 20:22:46 -0700 2007 more...]]> 51089 0802131824 9780802131829 724 49 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170373946m/51089.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51089.Black_Spring 4 0 false Thu Jan 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 21 07:29:01 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 08 10:03:17 -0800 2009
