A passionate work of literary criticism and personal meditation, The Time of the Assassins: A Study of Rimbaud presents Henry Miller's deeply subjective and fiercely intimate examination of the life and genius of the French poet Arthur Rimbaud. Miller argues that Rimbaud's tortured existence and radical abandonment of poetry represent not a failure, but a supreme act of spiritual revolt against a suffocating civilization — a theme that clearly resonated with Miller's own rebellious artistic philosophy. Written with the same raw, confessional intensity that defines Miller's fiction, the work blurs the line between biography and autobiography, as Miller uncovers striking parallels between Rimbaud's life and his own. The result is less a conventional scholarly study than a blazing act of literary kinship, in which one iconoclast illuminates another across the span of decades. Readers drawn to avant-garde literature, the Beat sensibility, or the intersection of biography and self-revelation will find this an electrifying and essential text.
