Henry Miller's Rosy Crucifixion, his second major
trilogy, took more than 10 years for the author to complete.
Beginning in 1949 with Sexus, a work so controversial all of Paris was
abuzz with L'Affaire Miller, (and publisher Maurice Girodias saw
himself threatened with jail), following in 1952 with Plexus, and
finally concluding with 1959's Nexus, the three works are a dazzling
array of scenes, sexual encounters and ideas, covering Miller's final
days in NY, his relationship with June Miller and her lover, his take
on the arts, his favorite writers, his thoughts, his insights, his
days and his nights, finally ending with a glorious farewell to the
life he'd known and an anticipation of the life he would
lead.
