«Plexus, La crucifixión rosada II» is the novel by Henry Miller, published by Alfaguara in paperback (604 pages, in Spanish).
In Plexus, Miller continues the parade of eccentric and endearing characters begun in Sexus, set in New York's Village. The narrator, obsessed with writing and publishing, recalls his childhood and the economic, emotional and sexual difficulties surrounding him; reflection on literature, capitalist society and spirituality pervades the novel.
«Plexus» is the second instalment of the trilogy «La crucifixión rosada»; this 1980 Spanish edition was translated by Carlos Manzano.
For readers of 20th-century American literary fiction, interested in a direct antecedent of the beat generation.
Henry Valentine Miller was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist. He broke with existing literary forms and developed a new type of semi-autobiographical novel that blends character study, social criticism, philosophical reflection, stream of consciousness, explicit language, sex, surrealist free association, and mysticism. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Tropic of Capricorn, and the trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, which are based on his experiences in New York City and Paris, and all of which were banned in the United States until 1961. He also wrote travel memoirs and literary criticism and painted watercolors.
