Synopsis
Down and out in Paris, the narrator of TROPIC OF CANCER hangs out in the Montparnasse neighborhood with fellow expatriates and artists. Told via turbulent, elaborate prose, the story is infused with graphic sexuality and sheer gusto. Originally published in 1934, TROPIC OF CANCER was banned from the U.S. until 1961; when it was finally printed here, the event of its publication became a pivotal moment in American obscenity law.

Industry Reviews
"Mr. Henry Miller's autobiographical record of sex and hunger in the mouldy bohemias of Paris in the 1930s has been printed in this country for the first time....I must confess that after more than a quarter of a century, I find it as 'dated' and as anachronistic as Jurgen, or a novel by Ouida....One of the defects of censorship, I suppose, is that it tends to put criticism on the defensive. A book must be praised if it isn't to be damned. In the process, the work in question, instead of being soberly judged, achieves a spurious ambiguity....This is a hobo novel, a hobo life of the open boulevards, almost a piece of 'proletarian' fiction, in which sex has been subustituted for Marxism and 'naughty' words for revolutionary cliches....It is an old and obsolete book and, if it had been allowed its little day in the thirties, it would by now probably be as dead as most of the other shallow works of that sad era of doubt and confusion, of starvation and spiritual bankruptcy."
New York Herald Tribune (1924-1966) - Leon Edel (06/25/1961)

"[This] was Henry Miller's first published volume, and it is as good as anything he has turned out since. It glows with the joy of discovery: I can write! ...To many readers 'Tropic of Cancer', strong language and all, may seem dated. But perhaps to many others the publication of the book here and now will re-emphasize its enduring freshness....Miller projects with gusto some of the great comic scenes of modern literature..... If literary quality is a criterion, these passages run far ahead of any considerations of obscenity; in themselves they guarantee that Henry Miller is an authentic, a significant author whose ripest work has been too long forbidden in his homeland."
New York Times Book Review - H.T. Moore (06/18/1961)

"At last, an unprintable book that is readable"
Ezra Pound (01/01/1934)

"Henry wanted me to take on the 'Tropic' books [for publication at my publishing house], but I didn't feel that would be prudent, because I was still drawing very heavily on the finances of my elder generation. I thought that the best way to keep them happy and to provide for other works of good literature was not to flaunt 'Tropic of Cancer' in their faces. But Henry and I remained friends for years, and [I] published 20 of his less salacious books."
Poets & Writers - James Laughlin

"...Henry Miller is one of us, in spirit, in style, in his power and in his gifts, a universal writer like all those who have been able to put into a book their own vision of Paris."
Interview - Blaise Cendrars (01/01/1951)

"American literature today begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done."
Book Jacket - Lawrence Durrell

"[Such a book as Miller's] has become so unusual as to seem almost anomalous [for] it is the book of a man who is happy....Exactly the aspects of life that fill Célìne with horror are the ones that appeal to him. So far from protesting he is accepting. And the very word 'acceptance' call up his real affinity, another American, Walt Whitman."
Introduction - George Orwell
