In very good condition On this work: Book One of Henry Miller's "Rosy Crucifixion", "Sexus" details his divorce from his first wife up until his early marriage to his second wife, June Miller. "The Rosy Crucifixion" is considered by many to be Henry Miller's masterpiece. Consisting of Sexus, Plexus, and Nexus, it documents the period of his life from his first divorce to just up until his departure for France. On the author: Henry Valentine Miller (December 26, 1891 - June 7, 1980) was an American writer and, to a lesser extent, painter. He is known for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a new sort of "novel" that is a mixture of novel, autobiography, social criticism, philosophical reflection, surrealist free association, and mysticism, one that is distinctly always about and expressive of the real-life Henry Miller and yet is also an imaginative construct. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and Black Spring. He also wrote travel memoirs and essays of literary criticism and analysis. Altogetherm 1600 copies were printed, out of which 600 were printed on "vergé teinté" and 1000 (this being one of them) on "vergé fin" paper.
