First US edition, Stated Third Printing, Written in the slums of a foreign city by a man who was an utter literary failure in his homeland, Tropic of Cancer was first published in 1934 by a pornographer in Paris.

In an attempt to flee the constant attention, Miller moved to Pacific Palisades in 1962 where he lived for the remainder of his life.

There has been eager curiosity-and some concern- about the possible revelations this second volume (which ends with his death) might make.
