I found him to be the first genuine and honest voice of a "friend" who understood. I felt the loneliness he describes in the 1956 interview posted in you tube., concerning the artists and poets of the 19 century face to face to the new materialistic progress and rationalism of that period when it all began. I felt the isolation within my puerto rican culture and within the american culture and the marginalization of minorities during the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the struggle of the counter culture vs war and materialism, so Henry Miller was a welcomed voice from an elder who we could trust back then. I perhaps followed his example in a both, tragic and fruitful ways. When I discovered his paintings in a college library, his narration, the colors, his attitude gave me the courage to return to painting full time seven years later, his self imposed exile in Paris, was the tragic side for me but at the end it was good as well. I quit my permanent easy super well payed job in Brooklyn, New york in 1984, to embarked for France where I eventuatlly remained ten years as well. Ten years later I returned to New York and I got my easy job as an interpreter back , and continued working for 30 years, rounding up a period of 40 years back to back since that adventure began. I am now retired and ready for my promise land...
Henry spoke for the artist. In a world that cares more about cutting off their gender, when it really is the artist that is being extinct, Henry’s voice rings true
The Only Truly “FREE WRITER” ; and therefore: THE PUREST ... THE GREATEST ... THE MOST IMPORTANT ... THE ONLY ONE in a long line of scribblers since the first hand dictators of Christs’ every utterance , worth reading .
Henry Miller is a human treasure. He was a genius who encompassed and transcended this mortal coil. He was courageous and exemplary as an artist and generous to a fault. He lived and set the high watermark to be human. Sadly in today's reactionary and woke fascism, Henry's voice has been sidelined by Tweets and a degraded homoginous culture. His voice will rise again!

What a life, what courage this man had.
This man inspires me to go after it all.
I wrote my Honours dissertation about Henry Miller. I know he would have said, "Stop wasting time writing about me and get on with your own life."

woke communism, not fascism.
@@filmbuff4woke communism? You are clueless. Go find some human qualities.
@chrisballas3356 he's not wrong. Today it's lefties that try to silence Miller because he was "problematic"
D'you see?
Thomas McGrath Dontcha know?
"you don't beat the game, anyway, you know"
Those watercolors are quite valuable today
The privilege to starve 😮
Spoken like a true culture cancellist
All that striving for artistic honour and honesty only to cheat on his family and wife.
Spoken like a true cancel culturist.
Artistic honour and marital fidelity have nothing to do with each other.
