Listed by Modern Library as one of the 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century. “Although his two most important works, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, were published in Paris in the 1930s, because of their heavy sexual content, they were not published in the United States until the early 1960s, when Miller’s work became the leading battlefield in the war over ‘pornographic’ literature” (Hoffman, 108). Once hailed by Norman Mailer as “the last great American pioneer,” Miller sparked much controversy over the novel’s explicit descriptions of sexual encounters. Tropic of Capricorn, with its focus on on Henry Miller’s Brooklyn youth, concludes his famed autobiographical trilogy-following Tropic of Cancer (1934) and Black Spring (1936).
