    Who wrote 'The Tropic of Capricorn' and why is it famous?

    Question #4129. Asked by ann. (Jul 10 00 2:34 AM)

    		Henry Miller U.S. writer and perennial Bohemian whose autobiographical novels achieve a candour--particularly about sex--that made them a liberating influence in mid-20th-century literature. He is also notable for a free and easy American style and a gift for comedy that springs from his willingness to admit to feelings... === www.members.eb.com (ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA)

    		Miller's best known novels include "Tropic of Cancer" and "Tropic of Capricorn". Both were banned in the U.S. until 1961 due to their frank sexual descriptions (obscenity).
