Crazy Cock Henry Miller
Grove Press 0802132936 / 9780802132932 Paperback New
Written in the late 1920s but lost until 1960 Crazy Cock was the immediate predecessor to 1934's Tropic of Cancer ( LJ 6/15/61) Miller's first published work. This earlier autobiographical novel explores a wrenching three-way relationship involving writer Tony Bring his wife Hildred and her bohemian lover Vanya. By this point in his career Miller had begun to sense that conventional narrative was not his forte but had not yet embraced the subjective seemingly chaotic approach that would liberate his language. Crazy Cock has its moments of soaring rhetoric but its primary value is to document the development of the most original American writer of his generation. For collections where Miller is read or studied.

Nexus Henry Miller
HarperPerennial 0802151787 / 9780802151780 Paperback New
'The Rosy Crucifixion may be Miller's masterpiece. It is an extended account of Miller's efforts to become a writer and relates his struggles, financial and spiritual, in detail. At the same time, it recreates the tone and texture of Miller's environment, and brings alive his varied cronies. Written in a relaxed, naturalistic American prose, the book is at times uproariously funny, especially when Miller pokes fun at himself.
