Description
Henry Miller has been underrated, misunderstood, and attacked
by critics since the publication of his first novel, Tropic
of Cancer, in 1934. One possible reason for this hostility
is his use of concepts from Hinduism, Taoism, and Zen Buddhism
which are unfamiliar to many of his critics. Miller's use of
Eastern ideas has been partial and perhaps intuitive rather
than intentional, but recognition of this aspect of Miller's
thought enhances a reader's appreciation and understanding
of his novels and suggests that Miller has prepared the way
for younger writers like Norman Mailer, William S. Burroughs,
and J. P. Donleavy.
