Tropic of cancer book buy7/4/2023 The book became an instant best seller, and Henry Miller stood as the priapic prophet of sexual freedom.įrederick Turner’s aim in “Renegade” is to explain how “Tropic of Cancer” came to be written, came to be banned and came to be an American Classic. First published in Paris in 1934 by Obelisk, a soft-porn imprint, it had been banned as obscene in America until a landmark legal victory overturned the ban, allowing Grove to print it legally in 1961. Norman Mailer needed Miller to be like Shakespeare (this is plain wrong, but the need is interesting) Erica Jong wanted to be Athena to Miller’s Zeus - born straight out of his head and saving him from the Feminist Furies in her book “The Devil at Large” (1993).Īnd now? It is some 50 years since “Tropic of Cancer” was published in the United States by Grove Press. Millett does notice that half the world has been billeted to the whorehouse, and wonders what this tells us about both Henry Miller and the psyche and sexuality of the American male. In fact, his long essay “Inside the Whale” barely mentions women at all. Orwell doesn’t notice that Miller-women are semihuman sex objects. George Orwell, writing in 1940 about Henry Miller, has very different preoccupations from Kate Millett writing about Miller in 1970. What we write about fiction is never an objective response to a text it is always part of a bigger mythmaking - the story we are telling ourselves about ourselves.
