Synopsis
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.
Reviews
Im glad that what seemed like profound literature in 1938 is now recognized as pretentious, narcissistic drivel. It makes me think society is actually improving. I cared so little for the autobiographical Henry of this novel that I found myself wishing bad things would happen to him at first. By the midpoint of the audiobook Id given up waiting for a plot to develop and just wanted it to all to be over. Campbell Scott is the perfect reader of this tedious novel: flat and affectless.
