"..Paris! His head was full if Paris. In the last few days they had been singing nothing but Paris...Paris...Paris... what memories the name evoked! Sundays on the butte at Montmartre, picnics in the Bois de Boulog e, the carousels in the Tuileries, the lake in the Luxembourg where the youngsters sailed their boats. He thought of the lovers who embraced in public, in the parks, on the street, everywhere. Christ, how they made love in Paris! And the twilight hour - that eerie mettalic glow in the sky, as if it were a piece of metal played on by vivid lights, streaker with hasty daubs by an enormous, unseen hand. A different sky althogether, the Paris sky. A northern sky." - Crazy Cock by Henry Miller I guess Miller is always identical to Paris or vice versa. I sometimes wonder why he is more famous there than in his origin. If you are reading Miller and looking for the sperm soaking scenes in it then you'll be disappointed. Yet if you are into eroticism like I do, you will have to slow yoursef down to grasp it in the midst of Miller's absurdity. I love my rereading time on this book. The intro written by Erica Jong whom she is also well-known in the erotic literary industry is enlightening as well as the intro from Mary V. Dearborn. I cannot help myself but to go with Jong's argument that the tones used in this novel is completely different than that somehow "melancholic" Tropic or Cancer. You'll understand it when you read this book!
