Review
‘A ranting, randy book carried along by a deep, sensual enjoyment of living.’ Sunday Times
‘Tropic of Cancer is a great prophetic book, a warning of what deadens life, an affirmation that it can yet be lived in an age whose sterile non-cultures seek to thwart all mainsprings of fertility. Miller reveals himself as a battered faun, a crafty innocent, a lonely, lazy, sometimes fearful, always steadfast, worshipper of life’ Spectator
From the Back Cover
A penniless and as yet unpublished writer, Henry Miller arrived in Paris in 1930. Leaving behind a disintegrating marriage and an unhappy career in America, he threw himself into the low-life of Bohemian Paris with unwavering gusto. A fictional account of Miller's adventures amongst the prostitutes and pimps, the penniless painters and writers of Montparnasse, 'Tropic of Cancer' is an extravagant and rhapsodic hymn to a world of unrivalled eroticism and freedom.
'Tropic of Cancer's' 1934 publication in France was hailed by Samuel Beckett as 'a momentous event in the history of modern writing'. The novel was subsequently banned in the UK and the USA and not released for publication for a further thirty years.
"A rhapsody from Whitman, Joyce, Lawrence and Celine, 'Tropic of Cancer' is a ranting, randy book carried along by a deep, sensual enjoyment of living"
SUNDAY TIMES
"'Tropic of Cancer' is a great prophetic book, a warning of what deadens life, an affirmation that it can yet be lived, though with extreme difficulty, in an age whose sterile non-cultures seek to thwart all mainsprings of fertility. Miller reveals himself as a battered faun, a crafty innocent, a lonely, lazy, sometimes fearful, always steadfast, worshipper of life"
COLIN MACLNNES, 'Spectator'
"In rejecting convention, a safe livelihood, the prison-bars of dailiness, Miller has broken through to an exuberant, bitter joy giving 'Tropic of Cancer' its unique flavour"
JOHN WAIN, 'Observer'
