Opus pistorum

by Henry Miller

Here one finds Miller's characteristic candor, with, self-mockery, and celebration of the good life. From Marcelle, to Tania, to Alexandra, to Anna . . . we are swept up in his odyssey as he searches, with boyish intensity, for the perfect job, the perfect woman, the perfect experience. Along hte way, his profoundly original ideas about art, love, and life shine through like jewels. -- Book jacket.
