excerpt:
"Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller's first novel, was published, with
difficulty in Paris, in 1934. Joe, our Miller substitute in the book, is a
40-something American, engaged in writing a novel. As Joe struggles to
write, he talks directly to the reader, in the free-wheeling manner of a
stand-up comic of today about the life and times of himself and some fellow
expatriates. These men (and occasional women) are nothing like the
prosperous Americans described by Hemingway and Scott Fitzgerald. Joe's
friends are hobo types with no money and plenty of attitude. To survive,
they pose in pomographic magazines, work in brothels and rob whores."
