marked it as to-read
I came across this in the used bookstore today. I hope I don't need to read the Rosy Crucifixion books in order.

students of henry
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.

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 ...

only those who are ready
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.
