This book unlocked a whole new world for me.

Erica Jong meets Henry Miller. No, it's not a horror film. On the contrary it's a wonderful book of sharing and discovery by two people from very different literary worlds. To be read before any Henry Miller biography!

I've always loved the Henry Miller and when I discovered that a woman I consider to be pretty goddamn fierce took on the man often (mis-)labeled "misogynist" I had to read it.

From the jacket:

"Biography, memoir, critical study, The Devil At Large captures the exuberance, audacity and energy that defined Miller's life and art...Jong has taken advantage of her intimacy with her subject to impart a deeper understanding of a life that's been mythologized, dramatized, and cannibalized." --Fodder (The Hungry Mind Bookstore)
