Description

4to. 1 p. In French. Interesting letter that originally accompanied Miller's manuscript of his preface for Kikou Yamata's 1960 publication "Deux Amours Cruelles", a translation of two Japanese novels by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki, and was probably addressed to her publisher at Librairie Stock: "Here are the requested pages. Let us hope they are acceptable! Tell Kikou Yamata that I am delighted to do this little favour for her and all my Japanese friends. I have not yet decided where to go the next few weeks - either Japan or Europe. But I will be gone by September" (transl.). In a short postcript, Miller accepts the suggested payment for his text. - The relationship between Henry Miller and Kikou Yamata goes back to at least 1956, when he sent her an enthusiastic congratulatory letter following the first English publication of "Three Geishas". The French preface for "Deux Amours Cruelles" was Miller's only contribution to a work by Yamata. - Stained by adhesive tape due to unprofessional repairs to a clipping, affecting the text and Miller's signature but without text loss. Some browning and very slight tears.
