This individual has two pseudonyms. Henry Miller's Swiss-born benefactor, Koverr as a fan replies to a fund-raising appeal with $250 a month for a year. One day Koverr visits to see how Miller is doing, and they become friends. The son of wealthy parents, Koverr has spent his fortune badly, is in a bad marriage, does not like his job, and has always wanted to write but been too timid; he wants to change places with Miller. After a few more checks and then a silence of more than a year, Koverr sends a pathetic request for repayment, which Miller makes in installments. Koverr writes that all of his friends had turned him down and Miller had been a slim hope. Koverr no longer wants to make money and is determined to write.
