Shocking, banned and the subject of obscenity trials, Henry
Miller's first novel Tropic of Cancer is one of the most scandalous
and influential books of the twentieth century -- new to Penguin
Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey Emin Tropic of Cancer
redefined the novel. Set in Paris in the 1930s, it features a
starving American writer who lives a bohemian life among
prostitutes, pimps, and artists. Banned in the US and the UK for
more than thirty years because it was considered pornographic,
Tropic of Cancer continued to be distributed in France and smuggled
into other countries. When it was first published in the US in
1961, it led to more than 60 obscenity trials until a historic
ruling by the Supreme Court defined it as a work of literature.
Long hailed as a truly liberating book, daring and uncompromising,
Tropic of Cancer is a cornerstone of modern literature that asks us
to reconsider everything we know about art, freedom, and morality.
