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. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Listas de sobresalientes
"Sexus" se centra sobre todo en las experiencias sexuales del narrador protagonista, y éstas se narran con una absoluta carencia de perjuicios, de un modo directo pero no por ello descuidado, sino todo lo contrario; dotando a esta temática de una dignidad literaria que hasta entonces muy raramente había tenido. La fuerza expresiva, la imaginación metafórica y la pasión en la creación verbal convirtieron esta novela en uno de los clásicos más escandalosos de todos los tiempos, pero sobre todo a raíz de la continuación de la trilogía, pronto se comprendió que esta novela es un paso previo y necesario en la exploración de las dimensiones principales del ser humano. Con esta obra Miller abre la trilogía que sin mucho acierto se ha conocido a veces como "La crucifixión rosada". No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

"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 ( )
