Tropic of Cancer
“An unforgettable novel of self-confession. Maybe the most honest book ever written, this autobiographical fiction about Miller’s life as an expatriate American in Paris was deemed obscene and banned from publication in this country for years. When you read this, you see immediately how much modern writers owe Miller.”
Amazon.com, editorial review
Hailed as a masterpiece, Tropic of Cancer is regarded as one of the most important American novels of the twentieth century. It chronicles the unforgettable, candidly sexual adventures of Henry Miller and his friends in Paris in the 1930s. The novel was banned in America from the time of its publication in 1934 until 1961, subsequently changing US censorship laws and paving the way for modern writers.
