![]() He is simply inept at writing dialogue and any attempt to put Miller in the same class as writers such as Hemingway is a bad joke. Miller’s alleged literary skill is rarely on display in his works and largely absent from this book. Thus while reading Kerouac can be a delight, reading Miller is a bore. Miler is far less talented, significantly less aware of the world around him, a poor observer of others, obsessed about his own physical needs and completely unconcerned with others. The influence is a fact but it does not follow that it is necessarily a good thing.Kerouac’s writing worked because he was exceptionally bright, had a good command of the English language, was a perceptive and sensitive observer of the human condition and was concerned with things other than himself and his bodily functions. ![]() Miller’s impact on later writers may be likened to the impact of WWI on WWII. ![]() ⭐I understand and respect the influence Miller had on later writers particularly Kerouac and Nin, but Miller’s style and his willingness to bore readers with tales of himself are not of themselves good or even interesting.
