Item Number: 119633
Paris: The Obelisk Press, 1938.
Second Obelisk edition of Miller’s second published novel, following Tropic of Cancer and preceding Tropic of Capricorn. Octavo, original wrappers. In very good condition.
A book of ten short stories, Black Spring was Miller's second published book, following Tropic of Cancer and preceding Tropic of Capricorn. The book was written in 1932-33 while Miller was living in Clichy, a northwestern suburb of Paris. Like Tropic of Cancer, the book is dedicated to Anaïs Nin. The work was published by Obelisk Press in Paris in 1936 but not published in the United States until 1963 due to obscenity laws. When the Grove Press “Black Cat” edition was released, several of the stories not considered obscene had already been published in other Miller volumes such as The Cosmological Eye, published by New Directions. Several other stories had been published in New Directions’ annual, New Directions in Prose and Poetry.
