Henry Miller - Plexus

Radiant in a new love nest in an aristocratic area of ​​Brooklyn, Henry Miller and Mona live only for each other, dedicated to pleasure and dreams, with their eyes on the future and little more than nothing in their pockets.

The stability of his job at the Cosmodemonic Telegraph Company loses all appeal, and, encouraged by Mona, Miller then devotes himself body and soul to his greatest passion: writing. The central novel in the scandalous and semi-autobiographical Rosicrucification trilogy, Plexus focuses on the early years of the author's second marriage, years of precarious balance between love and obsession, between indigence and grandeur, between despair and celebration of existence—years that are also the beginning of his admirable literary career.

This text, first published in France in 1953 and banned for over a decade in the United States and Great Britain, offers a privileged window into the values, beliefs, and opinions of one of the most irreverent authors of the 20th century and is a captivating portrait of his time.
