Bukowski isn't that good

Hi Geofriends, i'm actually doing a entry that was missed in my pc haha and it's about a book that i'll like 2 share with y'all. The writer is Henry Miller, a normal guy with a really open mind. I think that's, in a few words, is the best description of him. I like almost all of his books, because he had like an abstract form to combine the words in a way that it's like poetry but about his normal (not so normal) life. For this entry i'm gonna talk about Tropic of Cancer, that was the first Millers book that i read, i think it was about 7 or 6 years ago. It's about his travel to France in the decade of 1930, the time between wars. But isn't a normal travel like a touristic one, he went to Paris to write, to try to get some inspiration, like i think others artist have done before, but the way he told the days that he stayed there, sleeping in the streets, being hungry because he hasn't money and speaking with other writers and painters about the art is something beautifull. Like an advertence, this book also it's like a porno book, it was censored when he publish it because the explicit scenes of sex in the underworld of a Paris full of artists. But the central think about what is the art, who is and artist and some other topics full of reflection and self-reflection are the thinks that makes the book a really good one.
I hope y'all read a lot, because it's the best way to learn how to listen to...

PD: Paris was such a licentious place in that time!!!
