About
Henry Miller's monumental venture in self-revelation was begun with his Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, which on their American publication were hailed as miraculous, superb, ribald, brilliant, and shamelessly shocking. Sexus is the first volume of a series called The Rosy Crucifixion, in which Miller completes his major life work. It was written in the United States during World War II, and first published in Paris in 1949.

"That Henry Miller is a great artist, a great American artist, and perhaps the last one we can proud of-that he is one of the last of our literary giants who rose up during that marvelous period from 1890 to the 1940's-there is no doubt in my mind. The Rosy Crucifixion, repeating large parts of the earlier books, is a far better work of art. What Henry Miller has done here is take the crucial year
Maxwell Geismar
"Miller is more mystic than pornographer. He uses the obscene to shock and to awaken, but once we are awake, he wants to take us to the stars."
Erica Jong
"At times uproariously funny…may be Miller's masterpiece."
