Disappointed, Sexus Sold

Living in Grenoble, France it's hard to come by the English language versions of any literature I might read so I was delighted to find an English language copy of Henry Miller's Sexus in a nearby bookshop. "I'll buy it later, right now I'll get Dave Eggers' A Staggering Work." I never imagined anyone buying it, but that's precisely what's happened. Eggers' memoir was poignant, heart-rendingly good shit. But, over the indomitable Henry Miller?--Sorry, Dave!
