Book One of Henry Miller's Rosy Crucifixion, Sexus (1949) details his divorce from his first wife up until his early marriage to his second wife, June Miller. It takes place in New York, where Miller was born and raised and includes portraits of his many friends, lovers and acquaintances, and includes many reminiscences. Furthermore, it provides a view into Miller's ambition and struggle to become a writer -- a struggle his friends barely understood.
