Jon, you might be happy to know -- if you don't already -- that Twinka Thiebaud has written a new book about Miller. What Doncha Know? About Henry Miller It was published earlier this year.
Her publicist has contacted me and I have agreed to review Twinka's book. I intend to post my review sometime this coming week.
Yes. Now, do you think we usually intend and even engineer our leaps? Or does necessity push us over?
ReplyDeleteIn my case, Nance, it's almost always either necessity or chance -- and almost never foresight and intention. How about you?

Excellent point, George! I think Abbey was spot on with his observation.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm a Miller nut, he's the one author who's quotes come to mind spontaneously. Nance's question brought to mind this, from Miller's Capricorn:

(OK, I didn't remember the full quote; I had to google Miller "my adventures" "adventitious")
