A riotous and explosive mixture of joys and frustrations, Tropic of Capricorn chronicles Miller's early life in New York, from his repressive Brooklyn childhood spent amongst 'a galaxy of screwballs' to frantic, hilarious years of dead-end jobs and innumerable erotic adventures.
Irreverent and ironic, Tropic of Capricorn is both a comic portrait of the irrepressible Miller himself and a scathing attack on respectable America, the very foundations of which he hoped to shatter.
Publication of Tropic of Capricorn and its sister-volume Tropic of Cancer in Paris in the 1930s was hailed by Samuel Beckett as 'a momentous event in the history of modern writing'.

Henry Miller’s novel Tropic of Capricorn, viewed with elements of Leon Trotsky’s literary theory, reveals itself as being revolutionary despite the fact that Miller was not a Marxist of any kind.
If an artist is to examine history through class struggle and to keep his art relevant and useful, he or she must use dialectic to map the evolution of the struggle to determine the stage it has reached and where it is headed.
Miller’s narrator in Tropic of Capricorn uses a dialectical approach to examine the system in which he works and lives in a manner that Trotsky would approve: “The man of letters is fascinated by the dialectic of the individual and society, the human and the impersonal.”

 8. The Last Book
The mixed-mode writing that characterizes Miller's American novels and essays--more or less linear narrative punctuated by didactic meditations upon the proper "path" of Man in the modern age--suggests a continuation of the last Hamlet letter to Michael Fraenkel, rather than a sequel to Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, and Tropic of Capricorn.
Tropic of Capricorn, read as a history of Miller's writing, fleshes out Tropic of Cancer's equation of writing with the diminution of Being.
Under Miller's revisionary interpretation, "zero hour" becomes the moment when the empty subject of Tropic of Capricorn is prepared to liberate himself from the discourse of the novel and write The Rosy Crucifixion.

Tropic of Cancer was "interesting," but "Capricorn" blew my mind and turned me on to a realm of writing and chronicling of personal experience that influenced me more than any other work of literature I have ever read.
In Capricorn Miller looks to the roots of his childhood and life in New York and examines what made him the man he is and brought on his great change to a new way of life.
Capricorn goes beyond linear writing to pursue a dreamlike atmosphere: one of admitted Surrealist and Dadaist influence, whose influence in turn can be seen in the later beat writing of Kerouac and Burroughs among others.

Autobiographical novel by Henry Miller, published in France in 1934 and, because of censorship, not published in the United States until 1961.
Tropic of Cancer was the first of an autobiographical trilogy, followed by Black Spring (1936) and Tropic of Capricorn (1939).
Synopsis: Tropic of Cancer unabashedly depicts Millers' escapades as a down-and-out writer in Paris during the early 1930s, "bumming around" Montparnesse with a colorful, earthy, and rebellious group of expatriates and artists.

 Authors, A-Z > ( M ) > Miller, Henry
While CANCER chronicles the latter portion of Miller's experience abroad, the prequel, CAPRICORN, written five years later in 1939, is the more developed and more seminal of the two and elucidates with much greater detail the affects of his epiphany.
TROPIC OF CAPRICORN should be standard reading for anyone in the arts, for any artist who has ever felt the pang of isolation, who truly believes in the necessity of sacrifice, a higher calling and commitment to one's creative endeavors.
Though 'Big Sur' is reputed to be one of his more 'tame works'...Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn having been banned works for years due to their highly sexual content, the mind of Miller is indeed a wonderous place to explore.
