American Henry
Every man with a bellyful of the classics is an enemy to the human race.
--Henry Miller (1891–1980)
He lent an angry but insightful, hilarious and bawdy voice to the sentiment that Americans were too desperately conformist and unwittingly sterile to live real life. Despite his overtures of extreme existential dread, Miller was, and is, way fun to read. He knew how to write about women in any profession, culture or walk of life. I think deep down he really liked all of them.
