Tropic of Cancer Summary
| Henry Miller's best-known and most famous work (on anybody's top 100 list, and among this year's top 50 sellers), was first published by Girodias's father in 1934. The book itself was accepted by Jack Kahane in '31, but the economy and Kahane's legal struggles led him to continually delay launching the title into print, a situation that was remedied only by Anais Nin's agreeing to pay printer's costs several years later. (A few accounts have Nin receiving the money from her rich broker husband, others state she got the money from her lover and former therapist.) However it happened, Tropic of Cancer was an immediate underground sensation. The book is an avant-garde account of Henry's poverty-stricken days in Paris, after he'd fled New York, America, and the aftermath of a disastrous marriage, offering life in its minutest detail. |
