VERY RARE

Illustrated with 29 black and white photographs and one photomontage by Brassai (pseudonym of Gyula Halasz).

Miller's no-holds-barred erotic narrative is correspondingly equipoised by Brassai's earthy images of Paris after dark.

This tender and nostalgic work dates from the same period as Tropic of Cancer (1934). It is a celebration of love, art, and the Bohemian life at a time when the world was simpler and slower, and Miller an obscure, penniless young writer in Paris. Whether discussing the early days of his long friendship with Alfred Perles or his escapades at the Club Melody brothel, in Quiet Days in Clichy Miller describes a period that would shape his entire life and oeuvre.

Filmed in 1989
