  <default_description>On a pu dire de son &amp;#339;uvre qu'elle &#233;tait pornographique et immorale. Et jamais Henry Miller n'aurait d&#233;menti ces propos. Aux &#201;tats-Unis, Henry Miller est l'homme par qui le scandale arrive. Le scandale de celui qui ose dire la v&#233;rit&#233; du sexe, obstin&#233;ment et cr&#251;ment. Dans &lt;I&gt;Sexus&lt;/I&gt;, deuxi&#232;me opus de son autobiographie, on retrouve un Henry Miller &#226;g&#233; d'une trentaine d'ann&#233;es qui, comme &#224; l'accoutum&#233;e, tire le diable par la queue, emprunte de l'argent pour ne pas sombrer et r&#234;ve de devenir un grand &#233;crivain. Nous sommes dans le Brooklyn des ann&#233;es vingt et la crise n'est pas loin. Un jour, Miller rencontre dans un dancing une entra&#238;neuse nomm&#233;e Mara dont il tombe raide amoureux. Durant 7&#160;ans, ils vivent une passion torride et d&#233;vastatrice. &quot;C'&#233;tait l'apoth&#233;ose de ma vie&quot;, se souvient Miller au d&#233;but de &lt;I&gt;Sexus&lt;/I&gt;. &lt;p&gt;L'humour de Henry Miller n'a pas d'&#233;quivalent. Un m&#233;lange d&#233;tonnant de fausse culpabilit&#233; juive, d'&#233;go&#239;sme revendiqu&#233; et de conscience aiguis&#233;e de la l&#226;chet&#233; masculine. Mais, pour Miller, tout se noue et s'enroule autour du corps des femmes. Sexe &#252;ber alles&#160;! Le sexe, comme le pensait Miller, est le domaine naturel du roman. Il devient dans &lt;I&gt;Sexus&lt;/I&gt; la mati&#232;re premi&#232;re du livre, transform&#233;e aussi bien en intrigue dramatique qu'en observation sociale, en philosophie h&#233;doniste qu'en rempart ultime et unique contre la mort. &lt;I&gt;--Denis Gombert&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>
