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.
