Features: "Perhaps as I ripped open my own wounds, I closed other wounds—other wounds. Where there is destruction, there is creation. Suffering in ignorance is terrible, but to suffer willingly in order to understand the nature of suffering and eliminate it entirely is something else altogether. As we know, a Buddhist's single unchanging thought throughout their life is to reduce human suffering." Tales of the Oedipus Complex is the core work of Henry Miller's "Triptych of Love," and is considered one of the greatest confessions since Rousseau. It completely portrays the fundamental values, beliefs, ideas, and judgments of Henry Miller during the period of "Tales of the Oedipus Complex" and the creation of the trilogy. It explores the passions, thoughts, aspirations, and nightmares of humans and society in the 20th century, attempting to reclaim the freedom lost by humans in modern civilization through primal sexual expression. When Henry Miller narrates alone as the storyteller, he is unparalleled. He mocks the Victorian era in a crude manner, leaving it utterly humiliated. The language of this book is bold, direct, yet not devoid of humor, making it a masterpiece of Henry Miller.
