The first volume in Henry Miller’s The Rosy Crucifixion trilogy. Miller described the end of his time in New York and his move to avant-garde Paris in the 1930s as his ‘rosy crucifixion’. The first instalment Sexus recounts sexual exploits in Brooklyn, the breakdown of his first marriage and his passion for the flirtatious, intoxicating dance hall hostess Mona, a figure who comes to fascinate Miller throughout his life. Banned when it was first released for obscenity, those who called Miller solely a pornographer entirely missed the point of this book - sex is at the heart of his writing because he viewed it as an essential life force. Miller uses the debauchery in Sexus to facilitate his profound considerations of the self and the anatomy of happiness. This copy was published by Panther in 1976.
