Quiet Days in Clichy is a tender and nostalgic work by Henry Miller, published in 1994 by Grove Press. Spanning 154 pages, this book captures the early days of Miller’s life as an obscure, penniless writer in Paris during the 1920s. It offers a vivid portrayal of his experiences and friendships, including his long-standing relationship with Alfred Perles and his adventures at the Club Melody brothel. Through these reminiscences, Miller celebrates love, art, and the bohemian lifestyle, offering insights into how this period would shape his entire literary oeuvre and the Tropic of Cancer, which was published a decade earlier in 1934.
