Se reporter au compte rendu de Camille BOURNIQUEL In: Revue Esprit Nouvelle série, No. 380 (4) (AVRIL 1969), pp. 725-727… ; (en ligne), URL : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RE9n_hcGqfPB6QymocZaT9e912cQjZJX/view?usp=shari... Henry Miller is a skilled, intelligent and creative writer. His philosophy of art and social criticism are relevant for the 30 year old struggling artist he depicts and is beautifully written, as is his self-analysis and criticism. His alleged sexual exploits are unfortunate. Usually sexual literature does not bother me. However, this time, I took exception. I believe Miller’s self-doubt caused him to feel an obsessive need to relate his imagined, or real, sexual escapades and abuse ad nauseam. He had something to prove to himself and his readers. It was not art he was sharing, it was his immaturity. It is my hope that, over time, Miller self-actualized and wrote Nexus and Plexus with more self-respect and full use of his illustrious, imaginative writing faculties. Outside of this mild rebuke (humor), I do enjoy his writing and will continue to explore his work. The first book in Henry Miller's trilogy, "The Rosy Crucifixion", "Sexus", offers a peek into the mind of Henry Miller himself. It is a graphic, cerebral, visceral rendition of his life as a penniless, brilliant, sexually prolific mooch. I cannot say if I think he is horrid or marvelous. What I can say is that his writing is amazing. His use of language and breadth of reference is compelling. He seems like a man folks would hate to love, but would love being around. I look forward to the next two volumes of the trilogy. This book (which I read at age 17) changed my outlook on life. I was severely depressed and felt there was no joy in life but the exuberance of Miller, the way he fully embraced and enjoyed everything he experienced opened me to the possibility that life could be worth living. I aspire to match his engagement with the world around him. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"Sexus" ist Millers am hartnäckigsten in den literarischen Untergrund verbanntes Werk, das in Amerika erst ein Vierteljahrhundert nach seinem Entstehen gedruckt wurde und selbst in Frankreich achtzehn Jahre lang verboten war. Unbekümmert um alle moralischen und formalen Schranken und mitgerissen von der Sturzflut der Erinnerung, hat Miller in diesem "obszönsten seiner Bücher" (New York Times) ein Stück seines chaotisch-turbulenten Lebens reproduziert: ein orgiastischer Hymnus auf die physische Liebe und ein befreites Leben, Zeugnis einer Aufrichtigkeit, die Kompromisse verachtet Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

"Everybody becomes a healer the moment he forgets about himself. As long as we live self-consciously we must always fail to cope with the world. Everybody is a neurotic down to the last man and woman. We must die as egos and be born again in the swarm, not separate and self-hypnotized, but individual and related."
A master with words and thought. A brilliant and tormented mind. Henry Miller...bravo ( )
