PLAYBOY: What about your literary influences? You’ve mentioned Kerouac and Ginsberg. Whom do you read now?

The Henry Miller Library guarantees all guests the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen, challenge, and learn. It is not the proper role of the Library to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive. There are many books and stories to read, to write, to tell, and to listen to.   

We hope to learn from different ideas, why and how they come to be, and what values they’re premised on. To always critique and argue in good-faith.
