Memories

Miller loves writing. So he keeps writing down his memories. There is no plot, just memories put together. Henry hangs around Paris, meets his friends and sleeps with prostitutes. That is pretty much it.

Mona is about to come back to Paris. Henry feels in love with her and  he can't wait for her to come. When she finally arrives, he sleeps with her in a cheap hotel. Other memories follow. Henry sleeps with Elsa, a German girl who works as a maid in Villa Borghese. She makes breakfast, so Henry isn't angry anymore when Boris eats out. Henry and Boris are planning to write a book. They think that the book is going to have a huge impact on the world. The name of the book is The Last Book, and it is going to be anonymous. In the evening of the same day, he goes to Sylvester and Tania's place for dinner. Henry is upstairs and writes, and he hears them talking downstairs. He is angry at Tania but wants her to speak at the same time, so he can write. New paragraph starts with a new memory. An american woman comes to look at the apartment. Henry likes her. He wants Boris to introduce him to her, but he doesn't. Henry wants to write, but there is nothing he can write about. He keeps thinking of the woman, and what would happen if she bought the apartment. "A little talent and a fat purse."
