Forty years have passed since Grove Press first published Henry
Miller's landmark masterpiece -- an act that would forever change
the face of American literature. Initially banned in America as
obscene, Tropic of Cancer was first published in Paris in 1934.
Only a historic court ruling that changed American censorship
standards permitted its publication. Tropic of Cancer is now
considered, as Norman Mailer said, "one of the ten or twenty great
novels of our century". Also banned in America for almost thirty
years, Tropic of Capricorn is now considered a cornerstone of
modern literature.
Together, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn are a lasting
testament to one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth
century and his contribution not only to literature but to the
cause of free speech.
