«Quisiera dar un gran rodeo» is the correspondence of Henry Miller, published by Malpaso Ediciones in hardback (320 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together the letters that Henry Miller and Michael Fraenkel exchanged between 1935 and 1938, taking Shakespeare's Hamlet as their starting point. In these epistolary conversations the authors stray from the main topic to talk about literature, their concerns and the world, and the result shows a sarcastic, free and lucid Miller. Translation by Carlos Manzano.
The subtitle of the work is «Epistolario» and it appears in the Ensayo General collection from Malpaso. The epistolary exchange began in November 1935 and lasted until October 1938.
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.
