		Tropic of Cancer is a sexually explicit novel by Henry Miller, first published in 1934 by Obelisk Press in Paris and still in print (Grove Press 1987 paperback: ISBN 0-8021-3178-6).
		A copyright infringing "Medusa" edition of the novel was published in New York City in 1940 by Roy Brussel; its title page claimed its place of publication to be Mexico.
		George Orwell called this novel "the most important book of the mid-1930's," and Miller "the only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past." *Samuel Beckett hailed it as "a momentous event in the history of modern writing".

	Henry Miller
		He continued to write erotic novels that were banned in the United States on grounds of obscenity.
		Along with Tropic of Cancer, his Black Spring[?] (1936), and Tropic of Capricorn (1939), were smuggled into his native country, building Miller an underground reputation.
		The ultimate publication of Miller's Tropic of Cancer novel in the United States led to a series of obscenity trials that tested American laws[?] on pornography.

		A fictional account of Miller's adventures amongst the prostitutes and pimps, the penniless painters and writers of Montparnasse, Tropic of Cancer is an extravagant and rhapsodic hymn to a world of unrivalled eroticism and freedom.

		The novel was subsequently banned in the UK and the USA and not released for publication for a further thirty years.

	'Inside The Whale' part 1 by George Orwell
		When Henry Miller's novel, Tropic of Cancer, appeared in 1935, it was greeted with rather cautious praise, obviously conditioned in some cases by a fear of seeming to enjoy pornography.
		Tropic of Cancer is a novel in the first person, or autobiography in the form of a novel, whichever way you like to look at it.
		Tropic of Cancer ends with an especially Whitmanesque passage, in which, after the lecheries, the swindles, the fights, the drinking bouts, and the imbecilities, he simply sits down and watches the Seine flowing past, in a sort of mystical acceptance of thing-as-it-is. Only, what is he accepting?

		Thus, "Tropic of Cancer" is significant as a historical artifact in addition to being a literary work of art.
		Prior to reading this novel I thought that no artist was willing to document, with any semblance of honesty, the overt perversity of the young male mind, which is so often obfuscated in literature for whatever paltry reason.
		However the most blisteringly cathartic thing in the novel, the thing which seems to wipe clean all former attempts at recording truth, is that fact that Miller aptly balances his philosophical meanderings with the hard immediacy of life on the street, the sad, sick truths of hygeine, sex, and nutrition that are so inescapable.

		Tropic is now under a temporary ban throughout the state.
		Moore described Tropic as the "adventures of an American in Paris," and compared Miller's anarchic individualism with that of Whitman, Emerson, or Thoreau.
		Moore was ready to admit that characters in tropic talk about nymphomania, masturbtaion, sexual relations with ani- mals, Lesbianism, homosexuality, and ridicule of conventional religion, but insisted that the novel is pure in intent and even religions in its sense of the sacredness of life.

	Tropic of Cancer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Like those two unassailable works, Henry Miller's once-banned, now-legendary Tropic of Cancer was considered "unfilmable" by many but in 1970 Strick took a shot at translating it too, and the film is now seeing a re-release paired with Bernardo Bertolucci's once-banned, now-legendary Last Tango in Paris.
		Miller's 1934 semi-autobiographical novel about a bawdy expatriate in Paris during the Great Depression was referred to by Ezra Pound as "a dirty book worth reading," and Strick's film version, updated and told mostly in unrelated vignettes, supports that observation by keeping most of the author's brilliantly shocking passages–and imagery–intact.
		Credited as Ellen McRae, Tropic of Cancer was an early film role for her (hence, presumably, her rare display of nakedness), one which came right before her big break as the female lead in Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show.

		Written with a refreshing honesty and a realistic outlook, "Tropic of Cancer" is a fine example of the autobiographical-novel form (so autobiographical that Miller says its not really a book at all and that he is referred to as Henry Miller in the book).
		Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer" was a biographical novel of his years as an ex-pat in Paris.
		Miller's "cancer" appears to be a cancer of the soul.

		This Moravagine navigating through Tropic of Cancer appears at the very end of a chapter that is the book's longest, most impassioned, and most unruly monologue, the sort of diatribe Miller would become famous for in subsequent work.
		Tropic of Cancer, then, renders not a city seen and absorbed but the desire to absorb and master; Miller's Paris desires to be Cendrarsian.
		It is part and parcel of the essential paradox of Tropic of Cancer that this book, which is so famous as a pornographic site, infamous for its sensualities brandished in the face of a well-behaved public, in fact confronts us primarily with the language of pornography, not the porn itself.

		TROPIC OF CANCER [the book] is largely a rambling, alternately beautiful and vulgar, account of homeless and penniless ex-patriot Henry Miller living off of friends in 1930s Paris.
		Tropic of Cancer does not so much seem like a movie in its own right, but a type of tribute to the book, perhaps even a concept film.
		Tropic of Cancer, the book is filled with titillating imagines, it flows uneven at times but somehow remains focus.

	Book Information: Tropic of Cancer :: Internet Book List :: A database of book information and reviews
		Tropic of Cancer unabashedly depicts Miller's escapades as a down-and-out writer in Paris during the early 1930's, "bumming around" Montparnasse with a colorful, earthy, and rebellious group of expatriates and artists.
		An incalculable influence on the Beat Poets and an inspiration to generations of young writers, the always controversial Henry Miller has been both applauded and damned, but no one ever denies that he is a true original - and a great American writer.
		Published in France in 1934, Tropic of Cancer was banned in the United States until 1961, when its printing led to the overturning of America's obscenity laws.

	Otto Rank: Art and Artist.
		The peculiarity of Tropic of Cancer and Art and Artist is that Miller and Rank both use images of birth and rebirth to repudiate Romanticism and the persistent Romantic elements of Modernism: they deploy sexual language to repudiate sexual symbolism.
		At every turn, Tropic of Cancer's critical discourse returns to the problem of modern writing with caricature and obscene hyperboles of birth and death.
		The "womb of death" serves as a figure for Miller's aborted birth as a modernist, something to be overcome and repudiated.
