Scope and Contents

Bern Porter, who was an early publisher of Henry Miller in America, agrees with Miller that "sex is everywhere." He proves his point by a series of typographic interestingly arranged lists of where sex can be found, what it is and what it is not, what one can do with it, and how it cannot be stopped. Porter writes that everyone knows this about sex, and that Miller "treats sex for its own sake; neither apologizes nor glorifies its expression." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
