Description: The Rosy Crucifixion, Book One: Sexus, Volumes One to Three, The Obelisk Press, Paris, 1949. #1067 of 3,000 printed copies. Inscribed and signed by Henry Miller on front free endpaper. Inscription reads: "For Lillik, the real maestro, in life as well as art - rare thing! If this book is ever translated into Hebrew I will eat my shirt. Open it on the shores of Galilee or at the Dead Sea, or at Sau'a, or Mt. Sinai. If it stinks like a dead fish, write me a post card - from wherever. Yours always - a brother. Henry 10/29/50 (Big Sur)". ('Lillik', according to a Henry Miller scholar who contacted me regarding this listing, is artist Bezalel Schatz, a personal friend of Miller's.) Book is in solid overall condition, with lightly cocked but sound binding, fade to spine, no markings otherwise. Cloth boards protected by glassine sleeve.
