Can i tell you guys a secret?
I am a degenerate. This (pic related) is my favorite book. I recognize the formal weaknesses of Miller's writing and the criticisms that can and have been leveled at him, but I had one of those 'lifechanging' experiences with his books that lesser people seem to have with dredge like kerouac.
if there is spirituality to be found anywhere in the last century, it is to be found in Miller. I encourage you to disagree with me just so long as you are honest with yourself.
also black spring is simply god tier writing.

I want to tell you a secret..but everyone probably knows except you. You can judge a persons tastes by his favorite book sometimes and what kind of reader he is, this book shows you're the worst kind of pleb that exists under the tropic of pleb.

Recently read it as well as Capricorn and they absolutely blew me away.
Literally no shame in liking Miller, anon. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Nothing, just contrarian fags on /lit/ and social conservatives don't like him. Also there is an air of pretentiousness about his diction and sentence structure and the manner in which his books are written, but it's easy to see past once you're sold on his cynical, edgy, hyper-individualist writer-as-demigod worldview.

I related to that 'life changing' moment you talk about. This is and will always be my favorite book.
