Continuing the subversive self-revelation begun in Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, Henry Miller takes readers along a mad, free-associating journey from the damp grime of his Brooklyn youth to the sun-splashed cafes and squalid flats of Paris. With incomparable glee, Miller shifts effortlessly from Virgil to venereal disease, from Rabelais to Roquefort. In this seductive technicolor swirl of Paris and New York, he captures like no one else the blending of people and the cities they inhabit.

'American literature today begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done.' --Lawrence Durrell
'I like Henry Miller. I think he's the greatest American writer' --Bob Dylan
'There is nothing like Henry Miller when he gets rolling... One has to take the English language back to Marlowe and Shakespeare before encountering a wealth of imagery equal in intensity... a wildwater of prose, a cataract, a volcano, a torrent, an earthquake... a writer finally like a great athlete, a phenomenon of an avatar of literary energy.' --Norman Mailer
Henry Miller (1891-1980) was an American writer whose novels were notable for their breaking with literary conventions, and also for their frankness about sex, with the result that many of his works were banned in the U.S. on the grounds of obscenity.
