Henry Miller is a cult figure in the world of fiction, in part due to having been banned for obscenity for nearly thirty years. Alongside the liberating effect of his explicit treatment of sexuality, however, Miller developed a provocative form of writing that encourages the reader to question langu[...]

"Sexus" ist Millers am hartnäckigsten in den literarischen Untergrund verbanntes Werk, das in Amerika erst ein Vierteljahrhundert nach seinem Entstehen gedruckt wurde und selbst in Frankreich achtzehn Jahre lang verboten war. Unbekümmert um alle moralischen und formalen Schranken und mitgerissen v[...]
