Second Edition of this short novel celebrating love art and the Bohemian life with 29 full-page photogravures recto and verso of which one verso only and one double-page photomontage of Paris after dark by Brassai pseudonym of Gyula Halász. Small 8vo 172 x 103mm: 1713pp because of a binding error the blank leaf pp. 175-176 of the first edition was inserted following p. 170 giving the appearance of two fewer pages. Original thick card wrappers with wraparound abstract design by T. Tajiri in grey yellow and black; text printed on thick white wove paper in dark brown ink. About Fine slight spine lean trivial edge wear of this fragile volume. Shifreen & Jackson A100c. Kearney 1.16.2. Auer 364. O'Roark Collection A182 first edition. Originally published in 1956. Both Quiet Days in Clichy and the accompanying short story "Mara-Marignan" date from the time of Tropic of Cancer when Miller was an obscure penniless writer in Paris. A few months after he returned to New York in 1940 a quick moneymaking opportunity writing pornography for an Oklahoma erotica collector named Roy M. Johnson came his way. Early drafts of "Mara-Marignan" and Quiet Days in Clichy were the result. Johnson was not impressed; he found Miller's prose to be "too poetic" and the manuscripts went missing-"lost for over ten years" Miller wrote in 1956-then "turned up miraculously." Miller rewrote both stories in Big Sur in May of that year. The photographs of 1930s Paris are of street-scenes of prostitutes; sailors fondling women in cafes young people flirting kissing dancing and drinking. N. B.
