Still pretty rough going for even our jaded sensibilities, but <i>Tropic of Cancer</i> is an unforgettable novel of self-confession. Maybe the most honest book ever written, this autobiographical fiction about Miller's life as an expatriate American in Paris was deemed obscene and banned from publication in this country for years.

George Orwell wrote an essay about this book called, “Inside the Whale.” The title alludes to the Jonah story in the bible.
