Mit „Nexus“ nimmt Henry Miller die Fäden wieder auf, die er in „Plexus“ angesponnen hat. Unvergessene Gestalten erscheinen wieder, neue treten hinzu. Ausgeprägte Charaktere mit unverkennbarer Physiognomie tauchen auf aus dem unergründlichen New Yorker Menschenmeer. Beschworen von der Gewalt der Erinnerungen und magischer Sprachkraft, gewinnen sie farbiges, inständiges, vitales und geistiges Leben.

Mit diesem jahrzehntelang verketzerten und verbotenen Buch fegte der einst verfemte, heute weltberühmte Autor alle tabus hinweg. Es war der erste heftige Angriff gegen eine Gesellschaft, die den Boden bereitet, auf dem das Laster gedeiht. Es schlug die entscheidende Bresche in eine Mauer von Heuchelei und Prüderie.
