What We're Reading Now:
Banned in the United States for 30 years, Tropic of Capricorn is the semi-autobiographical tale of Henry Miller's blue collar trials in post-Depression America. With a unique style, Miller writes with conviction about the problems with beaurocratic society and the struggles of just trying to get by. Rimbaud's surrealism and a gritty translation of Jung's psychology echoe in his work. Not for the faint of heart, Miller's prose can be offensive, but never pretentious. I believe this is one of the 10 or 20 most important novels of its century.
