Frantically seeking antidotes to his dreary job and life 'in a morbidly respectable neighbourhood' with his wife Maude, Miller becomes obsessed with the promiscuous and mysterious Mara, dance hall hostess, femme fatale and pathological liar. This volume looks back in fictionalised form to Miller's America life in the 1920s.
Henry Miller
Henry Miller was an American writer known for his semi-autobiographical novels that challenged conventional literary and moral standards. His most notable works include "Tropic of Cancer," "Tropic of Capricorn," and "The Rosy Crucifixion" trilogy. Miller's writing style was characterized by its raw, unfiltered language and exploration of taboo subjects such as sex and existentialism. He was a key figure in the development of the modernist and postmodernist literary movements, influencing writers such as Jack Kerouac and Charles Bukowski. "Tropic of Cancer" is considered his most famous work, and it was initially banned in the United States for its explicit content before eventually becoming a literary classic. Henry Miller's contributions to literature continue to inspire readers and writers alike with his bold and uninhibited approach to storytelling.
