Sexus describes the break-up of Miller's first marriage as he meets, falls in love with and marries his second wife, the captivating and mysterious dancer Mona (June).
The New York Times stated, "Miller uses licentious sex scenes to set the stage for his philosophical discussions of self, love, marriage and happiness."
Miller said that, in a burst of inspiration one night in 1927, he stayed up all night plotting out Tropic of Capricorn and The Rosy Crucifixion in forty or fifty typewritten pages.He began writing Sexus in New York in 1942, then set it aside until picking it back up in 1947 while living in Big Sur. It was first put out in Paris as two volumes by Obelisk Press in 1949. It created a big stir, and was banned the following year, with the publisher fined and given a prison sentence.
