    		Miller first gained notoriety with the sexually explicit novels The Tropic of Cancer in 1934 and The Tropic of Capricorn in 1939 which were banned in the U.S. until 1961. Miller, Henry (1891-1980)

    		His works contain detailed accounts of sexual experiences, and his books did much to free the discussion of sexual subjects in American writing from both legal and social restrictions. He continued to write novels that were banned in the United States on grounds of obscenity. Along with Tropic of Cancer, his Black Spring (1936), and Tropic of Capricorn (1939), were smuggled into his native country, building Miller an underground reputation.
