Publisher's Summary
Now hailed as an American classic, Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller's masterpiece, was banned as obscene in this country for 27 years after its first publication in Paris in 1943. Only a historic court ruling that changed American censorship standards, ushering in a new era of freedom and frankness in modern literature, permitted the publication of this first volume of Miller's famed mixture of memoir and fiction, which chronicles with unapologetic gusto, the bawdy adventures of a young expatriate writer, his friends, and the characters they meet in Paris in the 1930s. Tropic of Cancer is now considered, as Norman Mailer said, "one of the 10 or 20 great novels of our century".

No plot,but amazing writing.
There is no real plot,just a man narrating his experiences in paris as they are happening.This is not for everyone.If you enjoy amazing use of the English language you will enjoy this book.Also I almost forgot it it very vulgar.Like I said not for everyone.
