>no mention of my niggah Henry Miller in this board
lets fix this
What's your favourite work from this controvesial author?
I would have to say Sexus followed closely by the colossus of amarussion(read it in Greek, don't know the english name). Sexus in particular is one of the few media that has made me get an erection, cried, and laughed. And his anger at the coworkers that didn't appreciate the Odyssey guy was amazing

Have only read the Tropics and Black Spring but Tropic of Cancer is my favorite book. I'm looking forward to reading the Cosmological eye soon

It's Maroussi in the Original English title, good book. Favorite by him is Cancer, though.

Cancer, Capricorn and Black Spring as well here. I remember finding Cancer pretty repetitive at times, but I enjoyed the lexical experimentation of Capricorn. It made me laugh a great deal, and he also impressed me by his sheer willingness to exhaust the English language and our patience by expounding infinitely on the subject of copulation and a woman's quim. Black Spring is pretty great as well too. All in all, Miller's one hell of a honky.

Cancer's gritty, dirty, earthy. One seriously gets the feel and especially the smell of Paris at that time. Capricorn does have the sex, but something happened to Miller's style after Cancer. He became more metaphorical, cleaner, more interested in the event, less in the surround. This may have been the result of confidence achieved, and perhaps writing too quickly. imo.

Has anyone read the rosy crucifixion

Bukowski is the poor man's Miller
