FIRST EDITION OF A FINE PRODUCTION FEATURING REPRODUCED ARTWORK BY HENRY MILLER. AND A RARE EXAMPLE INSCRIBED TO A CLOSE ASSOCIATE. The recipient is Oliver Evans who Miller claims in the inscription to envy for knowledge of literature and his love of the Orient. Miller had known Evans since 1966. Evans was also a close friend of Tennessee Williams and had traveled to Japan with Williams where the two met Yukio Mishima. Around the time this book was inscribed Evans had loaned Miller his copy of SUN & STEEL. Both Evans and Miller were shocked and saddened by Mishima's dramatic ritual suicide roughly eight months later.<br> Evans was also an associate of Anais Nin and a number of letters between them are now in the Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections at Northwestern. Miller and Nin's tumultuous affair is well known.<br> Miller's fame as an author might overshadow his reputation as an artist but it is estimated that Miller painted 2000 watercolors during his life and that 50 or more major collections of Miller's paintings exist. He was a close friend of the French painter Grégoire Michonze. The selections here so beautifully reproduced in colour are a display of his talent in this field. Harry N. Abrams,Inc. hardcover
