ⓘ About Henry Miller
During his childhood, he lived for 9 years at 662 Driggs Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which was known at that time (and was referred to frequently in his books) as the Fourteenth Ward. In 1900, his family moved to 1063 Decatur Street in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. After he finished elementary school, even though his family stayed in Bushwick, Henry went to Eastern District High School in Williamsburg. When he was a young man, he was active with the Socialist Party of America, with his “quondam idol” being Hubert Harrison, a black Socialist. He went to City College of New York just for a semester. In 1917 he married his first wife Beatrice Sylvas Wickens, with their divorce being granted in December of 1923. They had Barbara, a daughter born in 1919 together. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Non-Fiction Books series, Henry Miller has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
