Henry Miller 
Tropic of Capricorn 

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