June 7, 1980


Henry Miller, (December 26, 1891 to June 7, 1980), the writer, is probably due for a revival. He pioneered a frank sexuality in his books, and his was the life the stories were based on. In 1958 he became a member of the American Institute of Arts and Letters.  Some of his work was still banned in the United States at that time.

His biographer, Robert Ferguson in Henry Miller: a Life (1991) mentions " his intense dislike of vermin and insects," and also Henry Miller's fondness for cats.
