There is a growing collection of material for anyone interested in the literature of this country and we invite people from all over the world to perform, write, sing and experience this place. Many of Miller’s old friends stop by the Library telling stories of Henry’s generosity, his inspiring spirit and what his work has meant to them. Those kinds of visits provide some of the highlights of being here. If you’ve read Miller, and perhaps some things about Miller, you know the incredibly rich life he lived, the millions of people he touched with his writing, the lasting friendships he had. Here in Big Sur, the place Miller found during his Air-Conditioned Nightmare search for a place to settle, we have a perfect place to build on, preserve and champion what Miller did.
