Henry Miller's acquaintance, Cingria seems to be a jolly and talkative person when they meet at New Year's Eve, even while Cingria is going through one of the worst periods of his life. Miller learns this from a memorial issue of La Nouveau Revue Française, sent to him by friend Gerald Robitaille. Reading about his remarkable life and precious writings, Miller is inspired to write about life at Big Sur.
