| Description: |
| 26 pages of pencil and ink notes, compiled during 1943-46 while Miller was living at Beverly Glen (Los Angeles), and then in Big Sur, California. 9x12, red wrappers |
| Notes include lists of things to buy for his house, art supplies to purchase, & agendas of things to do ("Personal Exercises:...Hour's walk before breakfast (no thinking!)...Drink fine wines every day! Type one hour per day - drudge work," "Reprint the Etoilique with Preface. Send out carload lots to editors & publishers everywhere!" "**Ask Argus if he will mail announcements for new books! (ditto Gotham Book Mart!)," & "Get Leite to do only letters relating to `Tropic of Cancer,' dedicate to all the censors of this world and the next - including Soviet Russia & Young China."). Miller also includes lists of proposed "Titles to Use", "Titles of Paintings" (quite lengthy, with prices realized and to whom they were given), "Dollar a Week Patrons - Prospective!" (topping the list are James Agee, Ben Hecht, Judy Garland, Gotham Book Mart & Bern Porter), "Art galleries to circularize," "Debts to pay off" (only several names crossed off!), and much more. A great notebook containing the author's daily thoughts and chores during the early 1940's. Very good condition. |
