"That night I didn't sleep a wink. It wasn't the bedbugs that kept me
awake, it was Europe, the horror and misery, which penetrated it through
and through." Henry Miller's Nexus was censored fifty years ago, while
Miller and his publishers fought for freedom of speech. Nexus II was
never published, and looks at his first trip to Paris and Europe in
1928, a world on the edge of the great depression. Paris 1928 collates
these unpublished memoirs as Henry Miller wished, together with the
censored pages from Nexus showing his troubled relationship with June,
what might be in store for him in Paris, and his life in New York, when
alone in the hot summer of 1927.
