«Leer en el retrete» is Henry Miller's literary essay, published by Navona in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
In this essay, Henry Miller addresses the habit, as common as it is unconfessed, of reading on the toilet. With his provocative style, he attacks solemn reading and reading limited to entertainment, and defends intensity and personal experience. He also encourages seeking the text one wishes to read: the one dreamed of and forgotten.
Translation and epilogue by Enrique de Hériz. Number 6 in the Navona Ficciones collection.
A book for fans of the literary essay and for those seeking a brief introduction to Henry Miller.
Henry Valentine Miller was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist. He broke with existing literary forms and developed a new type of semi-autobiographical novel that blends character study, social criticism, philosophical reflection, stream of consciousness, explicit language, sex, surrealist free association, and mysticism. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Tropic of Capricorn, and the trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, which are based on his experiences in New York City and Paris, and all of which were banned in the United States until 1961. He also wrote travel memoirs and literary criticism and painted watercolors.
