    Henry Miller - Tropic of Cancer and other works (36 books)

    HENRY MILLER (1891-1980) was one of the most important American writers of the 20th
    century. He was known for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a
    new type of semi-autobiographical novel that blended character study, social
    criticism, philosophical reflection, stream of consciousness, explicit language,
    sex, surrealist free association, and mysticism.

    Miller's novels achieved a candour -- particularly about sex -- that made them a
    liberating influence in mid-20th-century literature. He was also notable for a
    free and easy American style and a gift for comedy that sprang from his willingness
    to admit to feelings others conceal and an almost eager acceptance of the bad along
    with the good, the degrading along with the sublime. Because of their sexual
    frankness, his major works -- TROPIC OF CANCER (1934), TROPIC OF CAPRICORN (1939),
    and the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy (SEXUS, 1949; PLEXUS, 1953; and NEXUS, 1959), all
    based on his experiences in New York and Paris -- were banned in Britain and the
    United States until the 1960s, although they were widely known earlier from copies
    smuggled in from France.

    In addition to his novels, Miller published literary criticism, travel memoirs and
    portraits of artists. His visit to Greece inspired THE COLOSSUS OF MAROUSSI
    (1941). In 1940-41 he toured the United States and wrote a sharply critical
    account, THE AIR-CONDITIONED NIGHTMARE (1945), which dwelt on the cost in human
    terms of mechanization and commercialization. Miller was also a noted
    watercolorist, exhibiting internationally and writing about art (see the
    reproductions in INSOMNIA). Last but not least, this torrent includes eight
    volumes of Miller's correspondence.

    Lawrence Durrell said of Miller: “American literature today begins and ends with
    the meaning of what Miller has done.” According to Erica Jong, "Miller is more
    mystic than pornographer. He uses the obscene to shock and to awaken, but once we
    are awake, he wants to take us to the stars." And Norman Mailer described him as
    "a wildwater of prose, a cataract, a volcano, a torrent, an earthquake, . . . a
    writer finally like a great athlete, a phenomenon of an avatar of literary energy."
