Features: We are all guilty, the great crime is not treating life sufficiently well, but we all have potential freedom. We can choose not to dwell on what we failed to achieve and instead do what we are capable of. No one can imagine the extent of our potential abilities—they are boundless. Imagination is the privilege of the brave, and God dares to imagine everything. This book is one of Henry Miller's "Triptych of Passion," and like many of his other works, it has been banned in many countries. The author narrates a biographical first-person account of a small-town clerk with a wife and children, though humble in status but talented, and his affair with a dancer. In this affair, desire and love are intertwined. The clerk can acknowledge human desire, yet he cannot escape the oppression of societal norms. The more liberated the individual becomes, the greater the resistance they face, eventually leading the clerk to collapse.
