The trilogy was originally banned in the US, and was only published in France and Japan. It wasn't until 1964 that the Supreme Court allowed it to be published. This volume tells of Miller's marriage to Mona, and his attempts to become a writer, after he leaves his job at the Cosmodemonic Telegraph.
