5.0 out of 5 stars grinds like a miller

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2012

Henry Miller wrote this when he was all but broke in France and in such dire states he wrote for 50 francs a page and he did so at around the time he was involved with Anaias Nin. Every single page (almost) that you open the book at will contain language that will blow you away (bad pun), even those who profess no imagination at all will be fired up with the content and it is perhaps the most explicit and for me the best written book of its genre and I include Nins the Delta of Venus in that group.--rabigyin

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

HENRY MILLER (1891-1980) was an American writer and painter infamous for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a new sort of "novel" that is a mixture of novel, autobiography, social criticism, philosophical reflection, surrealist free association, and mysticism, one that is distinctly always about and expressive of the real-life Henry Miller and yet is also fictional. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and Black Spring. His books were banned in the United States for their lewd content until 1964 when a court ruling overturned this order, acknowledging Miller’s work as literature in what became one of the most celebrated victories of the sexual revolution.
