En julio de 1939, tras vivir nueve años en París y ante la amenaza de la invasión de Francia por la Alemania nazi, Henry Miller acepta el convite de su amigo Lawrence Durrell y parte para Corfu, Grecia. 'O coloso de Marusi', escrito en 1940 en Nueva York, es un diario inclasificable de esa descubierta de Grecia y de los griegos, una mezcla de reflexiones y descripciones (de personas y paisajes), entre lo poético y lo prosaico, salpicado, por contraste, de críticas feroces a todo lo que el autor detesta de su país. Una lectura que deja poso vivo y fermentable.
Henry Valentine Miller was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist. He broke with existing literary forms and developed a new type of semi-autobiographical novel that blends character study, social criticism, philosophical reflection, stream of consciousness, explicit language, sex, surrealist free association, and mysticism. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Tropic of Capricorn, and the trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, which are based on his experiences in New York City and Paris, and all of which were banned in the United States until 1961. He also wrote travel memoirs and literary criticism and painted watercolors.
