Tropic of Cancer (Miller, Henry) by Henry Miller
Beautifully written story of a misogynist lecher
This was a book of wonderful descriptions and philosophical musings but the amount of testosterone flowing throughout rather swamped the good points for me.
This book spent years on my TBR shelf, because I was afraid I wouldn't like it. Finally I decided to read it and - guess what - I hated it.
The novel takes place in Paris, there is this young artist, his group of friends and a lot of women. A lot of women and a lot of sex, which was just so boring! No real story, nothing moving or funny or dramatic - lots of complaining and lots of sex. I have absolutely no idea why so many people enjoy this book - I didn't and I'm very happy to remove this book from my bookshelf. I'm not going to read any other book by this author.… (more)
