✦ Synopsis
'Here, even if I had a thousand dollar in my pocket, I know of no sight which could arouse in me the feeling of ecstasy'
Looking back to Henry Miller's bohemian life in 1930s Paris, when he was an obscure, penniless writer, Quiet Days in Clichy is a love letter to a city.

'His writing is flamboyant, torrential, chaotic, treacherous, and dangerous' Anaïs Nin
