MANUSCRIPT “WALL CHART” OF THINGS TO DO AND REMEMBER
96. miller, henry. “Wall Chart” - original notes by Miller on verso of a broadside. Broadside entitled,
“Information du Film,” dated April 15, 1932, with manuscript notes by Henry Miller on verso. 30x40.
Paris: 1932
Miller’s holograph notes are reminders to himself and lists to remember, such as “record
dreams,” “Cultivate stationery store man - have a drink with him Sunday morning,” “Books
to Read,” “Get card for American Library or Sylvia Beach,” “Steal good books from Am.
Library,” (At his list of books to read, he had noted “Steal” next to a few); “Plan bicycle trips
- Strasbourg, Meaux, Provins, Brussels, Amiens, Rouen, Tours, Chinon,” “Buy tin file case
like Fraenkel’s,” “Make idiot savant drawings for Emil. Skeletons whose bones are wired with
words...,” “On cold nights paint the walls - Tackle it con furioso!,” “Invite Kaun [?], Zadkine for
dinner - but separately!,” “Tragic Sense of Life - Unamuno - Multaluli - Louis Couperus (fuck
him - he’s n.g.),” and many other tidbits. A fascinating chart detailing Miller’s daily doings in
Paris. Split into two large sections, with creases from folding and tears along creases, this piece is
fragile but easily legible - would look wonderful framed; very good.
