A cult modern classic, Tropic of Capricorn is as daring, frank and
influential as Henry Miller first novel, Tropic of Cancer -- new to
Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey Emin A story of
sexual and spiritual awakening, Tropic of Capricorn shocked readers
when it was published in 1939. A mixture of fiction and
autobiography, it is the story of Henry V. Miller who works for the
Cosmodemonic telegraph company in New York in the 1920s and tries
to write the most important work of literature that was ever
published. Tropic of Capricorn paints a dazzling picture of the
life of the writer and of New York City between the wars: the
skyscrapers and the sewers, the lust and the dejection, the smells
and the sounds of a city that is perpetually in motion, threatening
to swallow everyone and everything. 'Literature begins and ends
with the meaning of what Miller has done' Lawrence Durrell 'The
only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has
appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past'
George Orwell 'The greatest American writer' Bob Dylan Henry Miller
(1891-1980) is one of the most important American writers of the
20th century. His best-known novels include Tropic of Cancer
(1934), Tropic of Capricorn (1939), and the Rosy Crucifixion
trilogy (Sexus, 1949, Plexus, 1953, and Nexus, 1959), all published
in France and banned in the US and the UK until 1964. He is widely
recognised as an irreverent, risk-taking writer who redefined the
novel and made the link between the European avant-garde and the
American Beat generation.
