In August 1942, Saroyan hired a down-on-his-luck Bodenheim to play himself in his one-act play, "Across the Board on Tomorrow Morning," at the Belasco Theater in New York. Bodenheim's task was to interrupt the show and recite his own poetry. "Bill's promotion of street characters to stage roles took a disturbing turn with the entrance of [Bodenheim]. For decades the quintessential Greenwich Village Bohemian, but now a ravaging piece of human wreckage, [on opening night his] ad-libbed poetry only made the audience more fidgety, and those who tried to escape ... were greeted by a wall of rain."

Paris: Booster Publications, (1938). First edition. INSCRIBED TO THE PAINTER HILAIRE HILER, "To Hilaire Hiler -- monetary expert. Henry 10/38. Hiler, a fellow expatriate in Paris in the 1920s, tutored Miller in art, and he and Miller (together with William Saroyan) later authored a 1945 book on the subject called WHY ABSTRACT? Page gatherings apparently over-glued at spine and roughly opening (by Miller for the inscription?) causing the cover to fall from the text block, taking a few tiny pieces of the first leaf with it; and Hiler has perhaps read his copy at bath as it's a little rumpled and shows light damp staining to first several leaves. Otherwise about very good and a wonderful association regardless of condition issues.
