I have two books by Henry Miller that used to belong to my father...?

Question

they are called Sexus and Tropic of cancer. Worth reading?

Answer 1

Oh, Tropic of Cancer is a bit 'inappropriate'. It was banned because it was kind of crude and had lots of swearing in.

Answer 2

Tropic Of Cancer is an important book. It features graphic and often detailed depictions of s*x and is hailed as one of the most important novels of the 20th century. It's american publication lead to an obscenity trial, which lead to the obscenity laws during the 1960's, some of which still doggedly hang on today. America has always been "prudish" compared to our European cousins.

So, yes. It's worth a read. I can't speak for Sexus, but it is probably similar to "Tropic".

Answer 3

Never heard of Sexus but Tropic Of Cancer is very much worth reading. It is about some people in Europe who never seem to run out of money and never stop partying. These people take the human body to the absolute limit. If u dont get disturbed easily than u will love tropic of cancer and tropic of capricorn as well
