Henry Miller is the only enlightened writer, his greatness has surpassed that of writers, and no one else can bear the title of a literary saint. With its witticisms, confusion, and profundity, Tropic of Cancer possesses a magical charm that can only burst forth from the thoughts and imagination of a genius artist. Tropic of Cancer is one of the "Trilogy of Passion" created by Henry Miller after he returned to the United States in 1940. The book narrates the story of the three of them living together—the author, his bisexual wife Mona, and Mona's girlfriend Stacia. In the story, the author aims to reveal the fragility of human nature and showcase the views and perspectives of young Americans at the time on literature and art through plotlines such as the three of them arguing, Mona and Stacia leaving, living alone and writing, and Mona returning to his side. After its official publication, the book attracted numerous readers and became one of the best-selling classics worldwide.
