Henry Miller

Henry Miller (1891-1980) gained literary fame through his semi-autobiographical novels "Tropic of Cancer" (1934) and "Tropic of Capricorn" (1939). Born in New York City, Miller spent significant periods in Paris during the 1930s, which greatly influenced his writing style and themes. "Tropic of Cancer" faced censorship battles in the United States but was later hailed as a groundbreaking work for its candid exploration of sexuality and human experience. In addition to his notable novels, Miller's "The Rosy Crucifixion" trilogy, consisting of "Sexus" (1949), "Plexus" (1953), and "Nexus" (1960), further cemented his reputation as a bold and innovative writer. Miller's work remains significant for its raw and honest portrayal of personal and existential themes.
