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 : : Hi again! : Something went wrong with Microsoft Outlook Express in my computer. Sorry, I can't send you the cover of "Max et les Phagocytes"... You can find it yourself though simply by going to the very good French site: http://www.chapitre.com : I tried to scan my own copy of the book, but to no : avail. My son (a computer wizard!) will have to come and fix this for me next week. : Have a nice Labor Day! (One of those good things : we share with you guys in the States). : Pierre
