Description: The Rosy Crucifixion: SEXUS, PLEXUS, NEXUS Author: Miller, Henry Title: The Rosy Crucifixion: SEXUS, PLEXUS, NEXUS Publication: Secaucus, New Jersey: Castle Books, 1965 Description: Hardcover. Reprint. Each of the three volumes is inscribed and dated by Henry Miller on the front flyleaf: "a great pleasure to meet a charming woman of France with whom I do no always see eye to eye, but better heart to heart." A fictionalized account of Henry Miller's life in Brooklyn as he falls for his second wife, June, and struggles to become a writer, leading up to his departure for Paris in 1928. The title comes from a sentence near the end of Miller's Tropic of Capricorn (1934): "All my Calvaries were rosy crucifixions, pseudo-tragedies to keep the fires of hell burning brightly for the real sinners who are in danger of being forgotten." Octavo, three volumes. Original light brown paper-covered boards, with a red stamping. The dust jackets are a bit toned along the spine and folds, with a half-inch chip to the spine head of Plexus, an unobtrusive label shadow to each front panel, and some minor shelfwear; otherwise a very good set. Very good / Very good.
