Tropic of Cancer
Penguin Modern Classics
Henry Miller
'I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive' Henry Miller's blazing first novel follows a young American writer as he makes his way through 1930s bohemian Paris, encountering penniless artists, pimps, 'prostitutes like wilted flowers', princesses, drunks, hustlers and sexual adventurers. Banned as pornographic and the subject of several obscenity trials, Tropic of Cancerdefied the conventions of its day and of language itself: a verbally dazzling, carnivalesque hymn to freedom and being alive that remade the modern novel. 'A revolution in consciousness equal to The Sun Also Rises.'Norman Mailer ''He knows all about me,' you feel; 'he wrote this specially for me'.' George Orwell
