Only a historic court ruling that changed American censorship standards, ushering in a new era of freedom and frankness in modern literature, permitted the publication of this first volume of Miller's famed mixture of memoir and fiction, which chronicles with unapologetic gusto the bawdy adventures of a young expatriate writer, his friends, and the characters they meet in Paris in the 1930s. \u003ci\u003eTropic of Cancer\u003c\/i\u003e is now considered, as Norman Mailer said, \"one of the ten or twenty great novels of our century.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenry Miller\u003c\/b\u003e (December 26, 1891 - June 7, 1980) was an American writer and painter. He was known for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a new sort of \"novel\" that is a mixture of novel, autobiography, social criticism, philosophical reflection, surrealist free association, and mysticism, one that is distinctly always about and expressive of the real-life Henry Miller and yet is also fictional. His most characteristic works of this kind are \u003ci\u003eTropic of Cancer\u003c\/i\u003e (1934), \u003ci\u003eBlack Spring\u003c\/i\u003e (1936), and \u003ci\u003eTropic of Capricorn\u003c\/i\u003e (1939).
