Henry Miller - Nexus

In the last few months spent in New York, Miller finds himself increasingly occupying the strange role of an observer in his own marriage. Fresh from the psychiatric hospital, Stasia, Mona's lover, stays with the couple, and this intricate, open relationship between the three quickly descends into chaos. The future, Miller knows, lies far away, across the ocean, in Paris—it is there that he will finally be able to fulfill his vocation as a writer.

The third and final volume of the acclaimed Rosicrucification trilogy, Nexus is the final piece in Henry Miller's journey of literary formation and affirmation, an autobiographical narrative that lays bare all the limitations, all the enthusiasms, all the dreams of its author. After years of being banned in his country, this trilogy would be central to the consecration of one of the greatest American prose writers of the 20th century.
