About the Book
Tender and nostalgic, Quiet Days in Clichy is a celebration of love, art, and the bohemian life, written in the early 1930s when Miller was an obscure, penniless young writer in Paris. Tracing the early days of his long friendship with Alfred Perles and his escapades at the Club Melody brothel, Miller describes a period that would shape his entire life and oeuvre.
