About this title

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:

" The best pages are white hot and inspired, both funny and terrible... Miller can communicate, and induce in the reader, a delicious delight in the fact of being alive."
ROBERT NYE

'I have a bottle between my legs and I am shoving the corkscrew in. Mrs. Wren has her mouth parted expectantly. The wine is splashing between my legs, the sun is splashing through the bay window, and inside my veins there is a bubble and a splash of a thousand crazy things that commence to gush out of me... With the bottle between my legs and the sun splashing through the window I experience once again the splendour of those miserable days when I first arrived in Paris... the feeling of suffocation, the fat cockroaches, the drinking and carousing...'

"'Tropic of Cancer' is a ranting, randy book carried along by a deep, sensual enjoyment of living."
