Letter from Henry Miller to Kate Millet, Accession # 7022-n, Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.
This holding was purchased from David Schulson of New York, New York on May 22, 1998.
In this letter, Henry Miller, Pacific Palisades, California, refuses Kate Millet, author of Sexual Politics , permission to use the material she sent to him either in her book or in an article submitted to the Waseda magazine, because "there is so much which is based on misunderstanding, on false emphases, on distortions, exaggerations, and sometimes untruth that I rebel. Maybe its simply a frightful lack of humor on your part which irritates me. And, this deadly analytical view which I suppose goes with all academic writing." Miller goes on to declare that theses have no value whatsoever with a carbon typed copy.
