Description:
Broadside entitled, "Information du Film," dated April 15, 1932, with manuscript notes by Henry Miller on verso. 30x40.
Miller's holograph notes are reminders to himself and lists to remember, such as "record dreams," "Cultivate stationery store man - have a drink with him Sunday morning," "Books to Read," "Get card for American Library or Sylvia Beach," "Steal good books from Am. Library," (At his list of books to read, he had noted "Steal" next to a few); "Plan bicycle trips - Strasbourg, Meaux, Provins, Brussels, Amiens, Rouen, Tours, Chinon," "Buy tin file case like Fraenkel's," "Make idiot savant drawings for Emil. Skeletons whose bones are wired with words...," "On cold nights paint the walls - Tackle it con furioso!," "Invite Kaun [?], Zadkine for dinner - but separately!," "Tragic Sense of Life - Unamuno - Multaluli - Louis Couperus (fuck him - he's n.g.)," and many other tidbits. A fascinating chart detailing Miller's daily doings in Paris.
Condition:
Split into two large sections, with creases from folding and tears along creases, this piece is fragile but easily legible - would look wonderful framed; very good.
