Emergency!! Emergency!! Animal control we have a wild penis on loose!! Help!!!!

Woof!Woof! Ladies hold on to your knickers (as if that matters...hahaha!) I'm back in town darlings!! The horny uncouth bastard, so save your vanities and say hello to Mr. Henry Miller!

Sexual claustrophobia and unrestrained gusto for life made me churn out vulgar visceral depiction of what is christened as ,"Ménage à trois gone down the drain". Mona’s (a.k.a Mara) romps with her eccen More...

I've reached that point a couple of chapters off of the end, where I've slowed. Now the time passes thickly, Henry's hours turning into my days, as I am reluctant to finish. It is the prolonging of climax, desire for the end fading into a need to cling to the moment and not let it pass. I think this is the last of his books that I have not yet read, but I am not ready to accept that there will be no more.

The best of the three in the Rosy Crucifixion series, after an interminable 100 pages or so of hemming and hawing abut how he was coping with his domestic situation (his wife was more in love with her girlfriend than with him) the book really gets rolling; some of Miller's best flights of fancy ever. He actually starts his life as a writer, and you get some feeling of forward motion.

Este foi um amigo muito importante, lido com vagar e cuidado. Henry Miller é meu irmão mais velho, conselheiro atento para meus momentos de insanidade, melancolia e alegria de viver. Sábio que se arrisca , poeta da crueza e da interioridade dilascerada. Meu amigo, meu irmão, eu vos apresento.

Wasn't my favorite of the 3. I have to say, the second book of the Rosy Cruxifiction was for me the best. I still don't get Miller completely - at times he's awful and other times he's just genius. I know this is how he writes - everything thrown in together and the button 'crazy spin' hit, and it has its own appeal but one thing I know it definitely is - demanding and exhausting!

Do I need to read this series in order??? Anybody know?

Because unless I happen to find the first two at the library used book sale for .50 cents (where I bought this one) I can't see spending money on them.

as with each book in "the rosy crucifixion," and pretty much all of henry miller's work, this book is fantastic, well worth reading, and henry miller still pretty much owns your face.

Read my review for Sexus- it's basically the same thing.
How many times do I want to read about someone else's sexcapades before I close the book and 'get some of my own'.

The beginning was just okay but I'm giving it 5 stars to show how much I LOVED the rest of it.

You know i love the guy, but plexus is a filling in of gaps like caulking a piece of swiss cheese. The cheese is good enough, keep the caulk out, even the air in the holes can be fragrant! The book follow henry and june through a period of time, they move about mooching off friends, and henry records and illustrates portrait after portrait of these people as if we care. This book is best used as a teaching tool to write good portraits if you ask me.

Plexus was pretty painful. I found this book to be incredible. Almost didn't read it, but had to finish the trilogy.

This serves as the perfect mix of Tropics and Sexus/Plexus. And if anyone knows the life of Henry Miller this makes sense. I felt like I was in a different world when I was reading this. It's style was potent enough to permeate my life at the time.

Nexus completes Miller's trilogy. At times, this book wanders a little. For the sake of completing the trilogy I powered through. Nexus definitely holds some gems that are worth finishing it to find.

Dutch translation of "The Rosy Crucifixion Book Three Nexus" ... translations are difficult ... after reading the books in the language they were written, the Dutch versions seem contrived ...

This is probably my favorite book of all time. Every time I read it I get something new and I study and underline like a Christian and his Bible.
