A novel by
Henry Miller that deals with his
sexual adventures, found controversial- primarily in
America- for its challenging of sexual
morality. All of Miller's works were
banned from entering the U.S. in the early part of the
20th century, but in 1961 the ban was lifted.
Published in 1934, Tropic of Cancer is sort of an autobiographical piece of fiction, based on Miller's life as an expatriate American residing in Paris. A most excellent read, as well as the majority of his work.
Other works by Miller include "Tropic of Capricorn," "Sexus," "Plexus," and "Nexus," and numerous others. A prolific and unabashed writer, the stories of the love affair between him and Anais Nin is also an interesting read. A movie about said subject, "Henry and June," has gorgeous cinematography and is worth watching.
