Tiré du film ##The Henry Miller odyssey##, le livre-album de Robert Snyder, cinéaste et voisin de Miller, jette un regard amicalement indiscret sur le plus francophile des romanciers américains.

Nombreuses photos de Miller, des endroits où il a vécu, fac-similés de manuscrits, de lettres, etc. Jacques Ferron note avec quelque mélancolie que ce célèbre marginal, innocent de tout et de sa gloire, a été - lui aussi - récupéré par le rêve américain. Un beau livre, très vivant
