Thomas PARKINSON of the University of ^California talks about Henry Miller 's most recent book Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronxmus Bosch and about his work as a whole.
' When I try to find a single word that sums up Miller's quality,' says Mr. Parkinson, ' the word is " hilarity," a kind of ecstatic joy that, even when most humanely motivated, remains vaguely electric, galvanic, stripped of the softening contours of humour, free of the intellectual elaborateness of wit.'
