Description
Nexus is the last volume of the scandalous trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, Henry Miller's major life work The last volume of The Rosy Crucifixion trilogy, Nexus continues the story of Henry Miller's escapades and quest for freedom. Feeling trapped in Brooklyn and his marriage with the volatile Mona, he becomes more interested in her extravagant friend, Stasia. After a complicated menage trois with Mona and Stasia, he is abandoned by both women and decides to sail for Paris to begin his resurrection as a writer. Funny and shocking, erotic and philosophical, the trilogy tells, according to Miller, 'the story of the most tragic suffering any man had endured'.
Author Biography
Henry Miller (1891-1980) is one of the most important American writers of the 20th century. His best-known novels include Tropic of Cancer (1934), Tropic of Capricorn (1939), and the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy (Sexus, 1949, Plexus, 1953, and Nexus, 1959), all published in France and banned in the US and the UK until 1964. He is widely recognised as an irreverent, risk-taking writer who redefined the novel and made the link between the European avant-garde and the American Beat generation.
