In this riveting book, published to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of Tropic of Cancer's initial U.S. release, Frederick Turner investigates Miller's unconventional novel, its tumultuous publishing history, and its unique place in American letters.Written in the slums of a foreign city by a man who was an utter literary failure in his homeland, Tropic of Cancer was published in 1934 by a pornographer in Paris, but soon banned in the United States. Not until 1961, when Grove Press triumphed over the censors, did Miller's book appear in American bookstores. Turner argues that Tropic of Cancer is "lawless, violent, colorful, misogynistic, anarchical, bigoted, and shaped by the same forces that shaped the nation." Further, the novel draws on more than two centuries of New World history, folklore, and popular culture in ways never attempted before. How Henry Miller, outcast and renegade, came to understand what literary dynamite he had within him, how he learned to sound his "war whoop" over the roofs of the world, is the subject of Turner's revelatory study. 410 0$aIcons of America. 606 $aPolitics and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAuthors and publishers$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPublishers and publishing$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCensorship$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aAuthors and publishers$xHistory 615 0$aPublishers and publishing$xHistory 615 0$aCensorship$xHistory 676 $a813.52 686 $aLIT007000$aLIT004020$aHIS036060$2bisacsh 700 $aTurner$b Frederick W.$f1937-$01426919 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813867803321 996 $aRenegade$94124087 997 $aUNINA
