Set in the colourful world of Greenwich Village in the 1920s, this semi-autobiographical novel follows the story of Tony Bring, a struggling writer whose bourgeois upbringing and inclinations collide with the disordered bohemianism of his beloved wife, Hildred.
Henry Miller was born in Brooklyn, New York. He had a variety of jobs as a young man, including several years working for the Western Union Telegraph Company. During this time, encouraged by June Mansfield Smith, the second of his five wives, Miller began to write. Aside from articles, stories for pulp magazines and prose poems, Miller worked on his first novels ‘Crazy Cock’ and ‘Moloch’, and on the copious notes which would eventually transmute into the notorious ‘Tropics’ books.

Hardback. In 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. 1992. First UK edition, first printing. A fine, unmarked copy in a near fine, unclipped d/w with only superficial wear. 1.8 Centimeters X 15.9 Centimeters X 24 Centimeters.
