Henry Miller's collaboration
with the Obelisk press in the 1930s produced three phenomenal works
still much-loved to this day. The groundbreaking Tropic of Cancer
published by Jack Kahane in 1934 after Anais Nin helped cover costs,
its followup Tropic of Capricorn, finally printed in 1939, and Black
Spring, a collection of vignettes and tales from 1936. These three
works, later republished by the Olympia Press in Paris announced the
arrival of a bold, pugilistic, voice on the literary scene, one whose
artistic roar echos to this day.
