Amazon.com Review:
No punches are pulled in Henry Miller's most famous work. Still pretty rough going for even our jaded sensibilities, but Tropic of Cancer is an unforgettable novel of self-confession. Maybe the most honest book ever written, this autobiographical fiction about Miller's life as an expatriate American in Paris was deemed obscene and banned from publication in this country for years. When you read this, you see immediately how much modern writers owe Miller.
Product Description:
Now hailed as an American classic, Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller's masterpiece, was banned as obscene in this country for twenty-seven years after its first publication in Paris in 1943. Only a historic court ruling that changed American censorship standards, ushering in a new era of freedom and frankness in modern literature, permitted the publication of this first volume of Miller's famed mixture of memoir and fiction, which chronicles with unapologetic gusto, the bawdy adventures of a young expatriate writer, his friends, and the characters they meet in Paris in the 1930s. Tropic of Cancer is now considered, as Norman Mailer said, "one of the ten or twenty great novels of our century."

- tropic of cancer
For everyone who thinks this is a "trashy" book, I urge you to take a second look at it. It is very well written, and when you don't take the language and some of the material to heart, it's a great story. All I heard about this book is that it was filthy, but the people who find it filthy don't understand that it's about someone's life. Truth be told, if the average person wrote a book about their life, it would most likely be deemed "filthy". Don't believe the naysayers, read it with an open mind.

- An Unfortunate Waste of Genuine Talent
So I've just finished reading Henry Miller's brilliantly poetic and utterly nihilistic memoir "The Tropic of Cancer," first published in 1934 and banned in both Europe and the US for twenty-seven years afterwards. Like many texts of the post-WW1 Modernist era - from T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" to Joseph Wood Krutch's philosophical work "The Modern Temper" - "The Tropic of Cancer" is built upon the premise that the traditional values of Western culture and the arts have crumbled, leaving behind a valley ...

I read this book several years ago. I wasn't then in a position to fully grasp the lietarary value of it, plus I lost the book!. Now I want to read it again and safekeep it.

- Know the background before you read this classic
Read as much about the story behind this book as possible before reading the book itself.
In a sense, it is nothing more than a diary of a man in Paris during the "great" Depression who was passionate about writing, so passionate he simply walked away from a mundane job one day, managed to get to Paris on ten dollars, and lived by his wits, if starving is living. Had it not been for Anaïs Nin's encouragement and her (husband's) financial generosity, it is doubtful Henry Miller's writing would ... Read More
Rating: - Original For Its Time--crude and rude
After its publication in 1934, why was this book banned as obscene for 27 years? One big reason is probably the way Miller refers to women, often using the c-word.
Set in the 1930's, Paris, Tropic of Cancer describes how an expatriate artist (Miller) survives by taking advantage of patrons and their money, writing and, of course, getting laid.
It's plotless and definitely atypical.
