From Kirkus Reviews: Early Henry Miller Fighting The Hydra Of English. In The Late 20"S Miller Was Living In Greenwich Village, Writing Crazy Cock And Being Housed And Fed By His Wife June. He Kept Revising Crazy Cock But Later In Paris Set It Aside To Write Tropic Of Cancer--A Wise Choice, Since The First Three Paragraphs Of Cancer Are Worth Crazy Cock Entire. Here Is Miller At His Most Swollen And Surreal, With Barely A Hint Of His Comic Genius And With The Worst Faults Of Cancer Now Strung End To End. There Are Perhaps Only Two Or Three Scenes In Crazy Cock That Spring To Their Feet As Storytelling.
