In this intimate snapshot of the rebellious and scandalous American author, friends and fellow writers remember his work, exploration of taboos, and visions of a freer society. Henry Miller had five wives and considered himself bound to both the continent of Europe and to the US. Miller's stormy relationships with women were the stuff of legend and inspired him to create ever more works. Bestsellers like Tropic of Cancer and Sexus revolutionized literature by offering erotic descriptions of unprecedented linguistic frankness. This led to Miller's books being banned in the United States and Great Britain right into the 1960s.
