 Local Description1992. First UK edition, first printing. A fine, unmarked copy in a near fine, unclipped d/w with only superficial wear. DescriptionIn 1930 Henry Miller moved from New York to Paris, leaving behind -- at least temporarily -- his tempestuous marriage to June Smith and a novel that had sprung from his anguish over her love affair with a mysterious woman named Jean Kronski. Begun in 1927, Crazy Cock is the story of Tony Bring, a struggling writer whose bourgeois inclinations collide with the disordered bohemianism of his much-beloved wife, Hildred, particularly when her lover, Vanya, comes to live with them in their already cramped Greenwich Village apartment. In a world swirling with violence, sex, and passion, the three struggle with their desires, inching ever nearer to insanity, each unable to break away from this dangerous and consuming love triangle. |
