Miller at his best wrote a prose grander than Faulkner’s, and wilder – the good reader is revolved in a farrago of light with words heavy as velvet, brilliant as gems, eruptions of thought cover the page. You could be in the vortex of one of Turner’s oceanic holocausts when the sun shines in the very center of the storm. No there’s nothing like Henry Miller when he gets rolling; one has to take the English language back to Marlowe and Shakespeare before encountering a wealth of imagery equal in intensity.
