  The Rosy Crucifixion: Book 1

  Sexus

  by Henry Miller

  First volume in the Rosy Crucifixion Series, originally published not by the Olympia Press, but rather Editions du Chene, Girodias' prior imprint (he was forced out after financial difficulties). Sexus is among Miller's most diverting works, at times erudite, dull, erotic and tame, chronicling the author's first wife, his final days in New York, his crushing failures, and his many women.

  The Rosy Crucifixion: Book 3

  Nexus

  by Henry Miller

  Nexus, the last book of Henry Miller's epic trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, is widely considered to be one of the landmarks of American fiction. In it, Miller vividly recalls his many years as a down-and-out writer in New York City, his friends, mistresses, and the unusual circumstances of his eventful life.
