Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch
- trade paperback
In his great triptych â€œThe Millennium,â€ Bosch used oranges and other fruits to symbolize the delights of Paradise. Whence Henry Millerâ€™s title for this, one of his most appealing books; first published in 1957, it tells the story of Millerâ€™s life on the Big Sur, a section of the California coast where he lived for fifteen years. Big Sur is the portrait of a placeâ€•one of the most colorful in the United Statesâ€•and of the extraordinary people Miller knew there: writers (and writers who did not write), mystics seeking truth in meditation (and the not-so-saintly looking for sex-cults or celebrity), sophisticated children and adult innocents; geniuses, cranks and the unclassifiable, like Conrad Moricand, the â€œDevil in Paradiseâ€ who is one of Millerâ€™s greatest character studies. Henry Miller writes with a buoyancy and brimming energy that are infectious. He has a fine touch for comedy. But this is also a serious bookâ€•the testament of a free spirit who has broken through the restraints and clichÃ©s of modern life to find within himself his own kind of paradise.
