Tropic of Capricorn

Banned in America for nearly 30 years due to explicit sexual content, Henry Miller’s “Tropic of Capricorn” serves as a companion to “Tropic of Cancer.” The novel chronicles Miller’s life in 1920s New York City, offering a candid depiction of life in Brooklyn’s ethnic neighborhoods and detailing his provocative sexual experiences. Now regarded as a cornerstone of modern literature, “Tropic of Capricorn” reflects Miller’s bold narrative style and exploration of human desire.
