"Tropic of Capricorn" is one of Henry Miller's autobiographical trilogies. It describes Miller's early life experience in New York. It is a work that describes his inner spiritual world and is also a mockery of modern Western civilization. The book is all-encompassing and reveals all kinds of life, including his colleagues, various job seekers, his childhood friends, his parents and crazy sister, his friends and various women around him. In Miller's world of words, everything is free and jumping, everything has no connection but is connected with each other...
Reader comments
This book is very real, and the author bares his own experiences and feelings. I like the vivid characters in the book, they let me see the diversity of life. This reminds me of "The Catcher in the Rye", where the protagonist Holden, like Miller, is exploring himself and the meaning of life. However, Miller's writing is bolder and more straightforward, making it enjoyable to read!
