Alfred Perlès: Difference between revisions

By 1936, Perlès was part of a vibrant Parisian literary scene that included Miller, Lawrence Durrell, and Anaïs Nin, as well as [[Antonin Artaud]], [[Michael Fraenkel]], [[Hans Reichel]] and others. Miller and Durrell often referred to Perlès as "Joe" or "Joey". Some of these writers were featured in a magazine called ''The Booster'', which Perlès co-published in 1936, along with Miller, Durrell, and Nin. In 1939, with the start of World War II the group broke apart, as Miller moved on to [[Greece]] and Perlès fled to England (where he applied for, and was granted, British citizenship). A few years later, Perlès wrote a piece about this pre-War circle in ''Henry Miller at Villa Seurat'' (featured in ''The Happy Rock'' anthology, 1945, and repubished by the Village Press as a chapbook in 1973).
