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, Tropic of Capricorn is now considered a cornerstone of modern literature.

Just beautiful writing, poetic, dark, crass and mesmerizing. Verbal riffs were psychedelic. Favorite narrator

Henry Miller

If you could rename Tropic of Capricorn, what would you call it?

Pretending to be normal, failing miserably, objective achieved.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed Tropic of Cancer much more, but I still enjoyed the rants. His obsession with astrology is curious.

Shades of Cancer - not as much fun

I am only 1 hour into listening,...Campbell Scott is the only saving grace for these nonstop, everlasting, repetitive, run on sentences just exploding with mundane adjectives that are comprising this book. At this point, I hope the Jewish guy eats the new guy just to be over it!
Right now I am thinking Henry Miller must have been drunk or bored. Maybe he will run out of words...unless it gets better, don't waste your money! Will update if it is redeemable.

adjective overload.....

to all intellectuals that don't take themselves too seriously, yet take it all very seriously and not at all.

a true one-of-a-kind book, a must-read

While Tropic of Cancer is more well known, true fans shouldn't miss this sleeper of a monstrous classic.
