description: Bypassing American writer Miller's better known and sensational books, Mathieu focuses on The Colossus of Maroussi (1941), an account of Miller's 1939 visit to Greece. He finds there the author's literary ancestry in Orphic thinking and French poet Arthur Rimbaud's own Orphic-derived strategies. Slightly revised from the 1976 edition published by Mouton in Paris and the Hague. No index is provided. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
