Incorporating the novels, pamphlets and letters of Henry Miller, Killing the Buddha argues for Millers written work to be considered as a whole in relation to the theme of Zen Buddhism, specifically the concept of Satori (awakening). By reading Millers literary output and letters as a spiritual journey to awakening, it is possible to chart his development as a writer, and offer insight into his repetitive use of biographical material. Reflecting upon the influence of Otto Rank and Henri Bergson on Millers conceptualization of the role of the writer, and then by examining his complex rejection of Surrealism, it is possible to show Millers burgeoning Zen Buddhism as a lifelong quest for acceptance and authenticity explicitly explored within his work. With close readings of the Obelisk Trilogy of the 1930s (Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and Black Spring) and The Rosy Crucifixion Trilogy (19491960), Millers complex journey to Satori is shown as a continuous progression from his early notorious novels through to the essays and pamphlets of his later career.
