3.0 out of 5 stars Great porn, mediocre literature, Jun 24 2004
By Matthew Krichman (Durango, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One thing I can say for certain about Henry Miller is that he is a far better pornographer than philosopher. His insights into human existence are hit and miss, but he definitely knows what he's talking about when it comes to sex. And the sex, admittedly, almost makes this book worth reading. For anyone with an imagination, it's better than Playboy or most of the stuff that you'll find in the adult section of your video store. At least from the male perspective, Henry Miller has a firm grasp of the human being as a sexual creature.

As a writer and a philosopher, however, Miller falls painfully short. He has his moments of brilliance, but not often enough. Some passages dazzle the reader with witty, original, expressive prose. Others are either flat or incomprehensible. At times he reveals a powerful truth about what it means to live, but too often he rambles on about what seems to be a personal reflection that has little or no meaning to anyone in the world except for him.

This book would have been better - and shorter - if he just stuck with the porn.

3.0 out of 5 stars A vivid writer but quite the sexist egomaniac!, April 26 2002
By A Customer
I was recommended this book by a friend who has read all Miller's books and she loves his writing, and said this one was his best. I have not read his works before, and began the book intrigued by his writing style and story telling, his descriptions of New York. He is vivid and the way he writes about sex is certainly unique and worth reading , though after about the 5th sexual encounter I was annoyed with his lead character, a ne'er do well who never really takes responsibility for his poor behavior and irresponsibility. It was hard to imagine that such a boor would have all these women sex-crazed for him. Though I am looking at it with the sensibility of someone raised with the feminist era etc...Maybe it is that "bad boy' thing that made him desirable???All I know is I totally lost interest in the character and his life at the last 4th of the book.
But it was worth reading so I can now say I have read Henry Miller, and examples of his interesting, well written sexual encounters ( not necessarily sexy to me, as I was mostly uninvolved with the characters and just could not believe, for example, that suddenly his ex wife formally cold was crazed with insatiable desire for this lout).
Read it if you have never read Henry Miller and want to know why he was so scandalous in his day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finding a new way to live..., April 25 2002
The assertion that Henry Miller cannot write is utterly absurd! If the writing seems crude you should understand why, he explains everything. He uses shock to awaken and even if you hate him, his words will linger long after you've read a long stretch. By this time in his life he's not an ordinary man learning to write. I consider Sexus better than Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. He does speak to every sentient being in the universe. He makes you realize that one must ultimately educate himself, at the same time reminding us of what we really need to live. He shows us the way to emancipate ourselves, divorce ourselves from all that is false and embrace the truth. I suppose, though, that some people can't get past the graphic sex and that's a pity. He reaches for the stars here and not just a piece of tail.
If you've had an itch but couldn't scratch it, Miller takes care of it. Keep your scope of perception open.
