"Black Spring" is the second part of Henry Miller's autobiographical trilogy. It was written during the same period as "Tropic of Cancer" and "Tropic of Cancer". It was also banned in the English-speaking world after being published in Paris in 1936. The book traces Miller's teenage years in Brooklyn and his time living in Paris. Through constant replays from New York to Paris, as well as surreal dreams and symbolic techniques, Miller outlines people and the cities they live in in a subversive and self-revelatory way, and on a deeper level, he is seeking the spiritual home of the soul.
