TROPIC OF CANCER (PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS) (PB)

Tropic of Cancer redefined the novel. Set in Paris in the 1930s, it features a starving American writer who lives a bohemian life among prostitutes, pimps, and artists. It was banned in the US and the UK for more than thirty years but continued to be distributed in France and smuggled into other countries. Long hailed as a truly liberating book, Tropic of Cancer is a cornerstone of modern literature that asks us to reconsider everything we know about art, freedom, and morality.
