Sinossi
Un matrimonio finisce, per Henry Miller. Un nuovo matrimonio inizia, per Henry Miller: è quello con la sensuale, misteriosa ballerina Mona (o June? Anche il nome sfugge a ogni possesso). Grande protagonista letterario della rivoluzione sessuale, Miller in questo romanzo abbandona ogni freno e ci narra gli incontri ardenti e tumultuosi con le molteplici donne della sua vita, nella cornice di una società americana messa provocatoriamente a nudo. Un romanzo dove il sesso serve a contestualizzare riflessioni filosofiche e psicologiche, una pietra dello scandalo messa al bando per quindici anni negli Usa, dove il libro fu pubblicato solo nel 1965.

The best thing about Leggi tutto
As a no-holds-barred relic of the sleazy 1920s, this is an audacious text, marred by passages of sublime arrogance, outrageously boring prose soup, and inane porn scenes. Miller’s status as a provocateur is well-earned, his style a frenetic mash-up of Dostoevsky, Lawrence and Selby. Sexus is incoher Leggi tutto
This is such a difficult book to write about because it's so expansive and so forthright in its world view. This is my first foray into Henry Miller and lets just say that it has truly altered my perceptions, and affected my world view. Miller is a nutjob, and often times you can't help but loathe h Leggi tutto
Henry Miller always writes with a surge of life being pushed through his pen. His stories, countless stories, always with another point of view - at one moment, as an all-knowing superior man, and the next, as a good-for-nothing, useless piece of garbage that's floating about the air. He's all too r Leggi tutto
