This conversation is suitable for all ages.
90 minutes, including a 30 minute Q&A.
A multifaceted look at a genre-breaking novel and why it still shocks us today. Samuel looks at Miller and his work from multiple perspectives.
A very interesting discussion about a very controversial book. It really made me think. Samuél organizes brilliant conversations.
Excellent presentation of Henry Miller’s work in Paris. I have studied very little literature in the past and this is a wonderful way to learn. The students are also very engaging and informative! Merci!
Part 2 of three - Samuél does an excellent job of bringing these books to life in a thoughtful and contemporary context. Encourages us to think deeply about what is a "classic"
Although a difficult book to read owing to the author's view towards women and people of color, the high calibre of writing in portions of the text are fascinating. Samuel will captivate your interest as he juxtaposes this conversation with a 21st century perspective.
