We often talk about Miller’s quintessential “love letter to Big Sur,” his “Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch,” but who, exactly, was Hieronymus Bosch?

His scenes feature such grotesqueries as devils on ice skates; hare-headed demons; knights being eaten alive by dog-lizard hybrids; and a pig in a nun’s habit kissing a naked man. He makes Salvador Dali look like Norman Rockwell.
