jcr610's review against another edition
4.0
Miller isn't the most intellectual or technically skilled writer, and makes no pretension of being so, but these collected pieces are imbued with such an honesty and such a desire to share something very deep about his experience that you can't but be moved. The writings are performative in the sense that you can feel his whole body in them, the same way that in his performances you can feel his whole voice. It's an uneven collection, but it's wonderful as a full view of an artist's process, rather than just a coherent, polished final product. I am still kicking myself for spilling coffee on my copy of this book, because I so treasure the inscription he wrote when I got him to sign it: "Chris! Tell your stories! XO Tim."
