Wind
the trumpets as never before, Henry Miller burst on the scene of world literature like a boulder rolling on the brink of collapse of bestial instincts. In a Paris that has no time nor history, moves Alf American in European away, and his friends from the murky existence marked only by red-hot sexual encounters with beings from female perversions most heated. Vibrating phallic shots left and right, the protagonist of this story with no real plot, diving joyously and light years away from even the slightest trace of a Dionysian consciousness in the euphoria of thorny meetings obscene consumed at the rate of the worst b-movie of our time, give free to every occasion, the case before the same thing. Prohibited by the literary productions of every place and put the index by the censors modern opera more extreme Miller lived a new life only since the mid-'80s, when a more careful criticism, coming especially from the older ranks the beat generation, enhance the momentum vitalistic and reporting inherent in the squalor of its dynamics. In any case, as say Fernanda Pivano (its an interesting postscript Feltrinelli edition), the impact of the narrative deliberately vulgar and explicit details which the writer allows himself New York, have little to envy to the production of pornographic category, were it not for the particular end that reveals the true essence and differentiates the main characteristics, where the wet dream of the protagonist and his lost in the maze of the most extreme sex, inadvertently dissolved in the presence of a reality that reveals the immorality of a degenerate destructive and devoid of any pretensions fornicatress nice figures that decerebration inhabit the desolate streets.
