Henry Miller was most eloquent at dinner hour. During his last years in Pacific Palisades he reflected on a myriad of subjects, particularly the people, events and concepts that shaped his extraordinary life. A new aspect of his feelings towards Anais Nin is revealed, as are the influences of Charlie Chaplin, Gurdjieff, Picasso and others. Poignancy fills his description of the Blind Birds of Belgium and his Mail-Order Bride; wonder hovers in his musings on Love, Death, and Spiritualism; while hearty irony stirs his views on Feminists, Men and Affairs of the Heart. Throughout, Miller demonstrates his unquenchable curiosity and the wide spectrum of his interests. None of this has been previously published and all was faithfully recorded by his friend and housekeeper, Twinka Thiebautd. 'Reflections' celebrates 88 years of being alive and becomes another roadmap into the heart, spirit and mind of the incomparable Henry Miller.
