Henry Miller’s famously banned book is “a matter-of-fact
celebration of chucking one’s dreary life and following your heart
to Paris” (Richard Price). Now hailed as an American
classic, Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller’s masterpiece, was banned
as obscene in this country for twenty-seven years after its first
publication in Paris in 1934. Only a historic court ruling that
changed American censorship standards, ushering in a new era of
freedom and frankness in modern literature, permitted the publication
of this first volume of Miller’s famed mixture of memoir and
fiction, which chronicles with unapologetic gusto the bawdy adventures
of a young expatriate writer, his friends, and the characters they
meet in Paris in the 1930s. Tropic of Cancer is now considered, as
Norman Mailer said, “one of the ten or twenty great novels of our
century.”
