«Trópico de Capricornio» is Henry Miller's autobiographical novel, published by Larousse in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
Autobiographical in tone, the novel recounts Henry Miller's life in 1920s New York, marked by poverty and the search for identity. With explicit and provocative language, it challenges the literary conventions of its time and treats sexuality with unusual frankness.
The work was originally published in 1939; this edition, prepared by Bernd Dietz, belongs to the Letras Universales collection (no. 79).
Henry Valentine Miller was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist. He broke with existing literary forms and developed a new type of semi-autobiographical novel that blends character study, social criticism, philosophical reflection, stream of consciousness, explicit language, sex, surrealist free association, and mysticism. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Tropic of Capricorn, and the trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, which are based on his experiences in New York City and Paris, and all of which were banned in the United States until 1961. He also wrote travel memoirs and literary criticism and painted watercolors.
