A resident of Monterey, CA, Varda introduces Henry Miller to Lynda Sergeant in Big Sur, with whom he stays until Keith Evan's Partington Ridge cabin becomes available. Miller declares Varda one of the true geniuses of Big Sur, but numbers him in an earlier generation. Varda leaves Big Sur for a time, but reappears late in the book, living and painting on a houseboat in Sausalito and advising Miller on how to rid himself of responsibility for Conrad Moricand. Varda arranges to pawn Moricand off on an aging San Francisco countess who collects occult people, Moricand rejects her.
