A BEAUTIFUL COPY IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS
Tropic of Capricorn “When the whole human race is rocking with laughter, laughing so hard it hurts, I mean, everybody then has his foot on the path.” FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE in original wrappers; one of only 1000 copies printed. Tropic of Capricorn continues the autobiographical exploration of the self Miller began in Tropic of Cancer, recounting, in his characteristically brutal and forthright style, the emergence of the artist from his early days of struggle in New York. Banned in many countries on grounds of obscenity, copies of Tropic of Capricorn were smuggled into the United States, contributing to the underground growth of his reputation in his native land. Paris: Obelisk Press, 1939. Octavo, original wrappers; custom half-leather box. First issue, with 60 FR price and errata slip. Only a hint of edgewear including a very small chip to top of rear panel. A beautiful copy, most rare in this condition. $3500. For Miller's Tropic of Cancer, click here
