Sexus (The Rosy Crucifixion #1)

The first novel in the autobiographical Rosy Crucifixion trilogy, Sexus depicts Miller's first stormy marriage and his sexual escapades in New York City with the mysterious dance hall hostess Mona. Published in 1949 in Paris, this picaresque tale was banned in the US and the UK for two decades. Funny and shocking, erotic and philosophical, the trilogy tells, according to Miller, 'the story of the most tragic suffering any man had endured'.
