New York: Grove Press, Inc., 1961. First US edition, first printing, of this seminal event in 20th-century publishing.
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. Banned in the US, this first and much later US edition triggered censorship battles, and it wasn't until 1964 that the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the book was not pornographic. The stateside publication of Tropic of Cancer made Miller famous in the US, and a steady stream of fans began to visit and write to him at his home in Big Sur. In an attempt to flee the constant attention, Miller moved to Pacific Palisades in 1962 where he lived for the remainder of his life. Octavo. Original dark blue cloth-backed patterned blue boards, spine and front board lettered in silver, top edge blue. With dust jacket. A fine copy in near-fine jacket, a hint of wear to corners but without loss, not price-clipped, bright.
