Re: MAX AND THE WHITE PHAGOCYTES

Comments:: : : How about the contents of MAX AND THE WHITE PHAGOCYTES? : : Hi! : : The original American editions of "Max and the White Phagocytes, "Remember to Remember" and "Sunday After the War" are hard to obtain probably because New Directions assume that a good Henry Miller fan will find the content of these books in other collections. This is my assumption, but it could be that these guys in New York are simply full of..(well, you know what!)... It's easier nowadays to get a book by Miller in London and Paris than in the good old U.S. of A.! In Montreal, Henry's books translated in French can be found everywhere. But if you're looking for "The Books in my Life" or "Black Spring" in English, you'll end up in a no-no lane!: "Oh! we are so sorry... it's not available...etc." This applies to "Max". So, here's the table of contents of that book in French, which I proudly possess (bought here in Montreal, on Saint-Catherine Street): : : Max : : Premier amour : : Via Dieppe-Newhaven : : Benno, le sauvage de Borneo : : L'ancien combattant alcoolique au crane en planche 'a lessive : : Mademoiselle Claude : : Reunion 'a Brooklyn : : En guise de finale : : P.S. The translator (Georges Belmont) : : eliminated the adjective "White". The cover of that French edition is somewhat amazing. I've downloaded it "for your eyes only" : : Take care! : : Pierre : I don't agree. I find it rather easy to find his books, even at hawleycooke or barnesandnoble... : I even found 'stand still like a hummingbird' at a B&N (essay collection). : But as for 'Books in my Life' and 'Black Spring'... I see Black Spring everywhere, and Books in my Life is easy to obtain (there's even a copy up the street at the B&N), at least online. : alas, I've never seen Max and the White Phagocytes laying around tho, except reproduced in shoddy unoffical paperback collections
