The title comes from a sentence near the end of Miller's Tropic of Capricorn: "All my Calvaries were rosy crucifixions, pseudo-tragedies to keep the fires of hell burning brightly for the real sinners who are in danger of being forgotten." Plexus (1953), the second volume, continues with the story of Miller s marriage to Mona, and covers Miller s attempts to become a writer after leaving his job at the Cosmodemonic Telegraph Company.
