Inscribed to William 'Bill' Targ by Henry Miller on the title page) - Vol. II. (348, [1] pages) (Out of series.). Shelved in Case 2. The second part in Miller's trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion continues the lightly fictionalized account of the six-year period of Henry Miller's life in Brooklyn and Paris as he falls for his second wife June (appearing here as 'Mona') and struggles to become a writer. In response to criticism about the trilogy from his friend, Lawrence Durrell, Miller wrote: "I am trying to reproduce in words a block of my life which to me has the utmost significance - every bit of it. Since 1927 I have carried inside me the material of this book. Do you suppose it's possible that I could have a miscarriage after such a period of gestation? . But Larry, I can never go back on what I've written. If it was not good, it was true; if it was not artistic, it was sincere; if it was in bad taste, it was on the side of life." (Brassaļ, Henry Miller: The Paris Years). William Targ (1907-1999) was an American book editor and publisher, perhaps best known for publishing Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather while editor-in-chief of G. P. Putnam's Sons. He was also authored a memoir about his time in the publishing industry, Indecent Pleasures (1975). 1309101. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Seller Inventory # 1309101
