Henry Miller’s debut, Tropic of Cancer was one of them, suggested by my friend Tyler, and I chose it as my second post-BBC Big Read book, following on from The Natural way of Things by Charlotte Wood.Ī notorious novel that was banned in the US, the ‘free speech we now take for granted in literature’ has been attributed to its publication in 1934, and it is regarded by many as an import work of 20th century literature. This happened quite recently at a Boxing Day pool-party I went to in Valcluse, but happily I left with a number of recommendations to add to my reading pile. I’ve previously spoken about how in a social environment, I often turn into the biggest of book-bores, seeking recommendations from anyone and everyone, talking about my BBC Big Read challenge (which I finished last month), and, perhaps most cringe-worthy of all, giving random strangers details of my blog, in case they’re ever in need of a good book.
