Tropic of Capricorn
Tropic of Capricorn | Henry Miller
8 posts | 18 read | 19 to read
Banned in America for almost thirty years because of its explicit sexual content, this companion volume to Millers Tropic of Cancer chronicles his life in 1920s New York City. Famous for its frank portrayal of life in Brooklyns ethnic neighborhoods and Millers outrageous sexual exploits, The Tropic of Capricorn is now considered a cornerstone of modern literature.

"I believe that today, more than ever, a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul.
Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn

#FierceFeb Day 16: Henry Miller was definitely asking #IsThisDesire as he wrote this sensuous trilogy that I am hoping I will get to read for our #ContoursOfLove reading theme at GatheringBooks til end of March, but I doubt I‘d be able to. Good intentions count for something though, I believe.

batsy I haven't read, but from what I've heard this is the perfect choice 😊 I've read some of Anais Nin's journals... He comes up quite a bit! 7y
Cinfhen Whoa 😲 those covers....pretty steamy 7y
Dulcinella I love his books. 7y

"The river is called Death and it has a bitter taste. I have waded through it many times, up to the hips, but somehow I have neither been petrified nor immortalized. I am still burning brightly inside, though outwardly dead as a planet."

kricheal This came up as a Facebook memory today, however I only gave Henry Miller credit and didn't say whether it came from Cancer or Capricorn. My gut is saying Tropic of Capricorn. Can anyone help me out with this? 8y

Read this with my book club because of it's historical significance: it was banned and labeled pornography and was argued in the Supreme Court. It was hard to read as a woman. I understand why it is worthy but it was not my cup of tea.
