Henry Miller
Now hailed as an American classic, Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller's masterpiece,
was banned as obscene in this country for twenty-seven years after its first publication
in Paris in 1934. Only a historic court ruling that changed American censorship standards,
ushering in a new era of freedomand frankness in modern literature, permitted the
publication of this first volume of Miller's famed mixture of memoir and fiction, which
chronicles with unapologetic gusto the bawdy adventures of a young expatriate writer, his
friends, and the characters they meet in Paris in the 1930s.

Henry Miller
Miller is more mystic than pornographer. He uses the obscene to shock and awaken,
but once we are awake, he wants to take us to the stars. —Erica Jong

Henry Miller
Plexis is the core volume of The Rosy Crucifixion: the volume which has the most
complete description of Henry Miller's basic beliefs, values, opinions, judgements, both
at the time of his crucifixion and at the later
time when the trilogy was written. Plexis is simply the most marvelous volume of emotions
and ideas and visions and nightmares about man and society in the twentieth century --
with art as the link perhaps, or as the
soul's refuge -- that I have read in many a long year. There is absolutely no subject in
the world that Henry Miller does not seem to know about, want to talk about, and to
evaluate with a deep authority of wisdom. He is
probably the most learned of all American writers, the most open to ideas and feelings,
and yes, the most worshipful of all the aspects of life, as well as the most critical
literary spokesman of our time.

Henry Miller
'The Rosy Crucifixion may be Miller's masterpiece. It is an extended account of
Miller's efforts to become a writer and relates his struggles, financial and spiritual, in
detail. At the same time, it recreates the tone and texture of Miller's environment, and
brings alive his varied cronies. Written in a relaxed, naturalistic American prose, the
book is at times uproariously funny, especially when Miller pokes fun at himself.
