"Oddly arranged, and strangely strung together, but once I managed to get into the peculiar rhythm of Miller's flow, I was nothing less than enchanted. Some moments are blatantly candid and real (some might say offensive), and others are poetically raw and heart wrenching. His scope for manipulating prose has made this a truly memorable book for me, and probably one of my favourite to date." - Amazon reviewer

A cult modern classic, Tropic of Capricorn is as daring, frank and influential as Henry Miller's first novel, Tropic of Cancer – new to Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey Emin.

A story of sexual and spiritual awakening, Tropic of Capricorn shocked readers when it was published in 1939. A mixture of fiction and autobiography, it is the story of Henry V. Miller who works for the Cosmodemonic telegraph company in New York in the 1920s and tries to write the most important work of literature that was ever published. Tropic of Capricorn paints a dazzling picture of the life of the writer and of New York City between the wars: the skyscrapers and the sewers, the lust and the dejection, the smells and the sounds of a city that is perpetually in motion, threatening to swallow everyone and everything.

'Literature begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done' Lawrence Durrell

'The only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past' George Orwell

'The greatest American writer' Bob Dylan
