'''''Tropic of Cancer''''' is a novel by [[Henry Miller]], published in 1934. However, it’s known mostly for being the subject of much controversy in America for being considered obscene and pornographic.
 
The novel follows the author and his dealings in [[Gay Paree]] while struggling as a writer, having sex, meeting with friends, having sex, going to social clubs, [[Rule of Three|having sex]], uttering non sequiturs and, you know, [[Overly Long Gag|having sex]]. It doesn’t really go in circles around sex, though, it focuses heavily on the other issues, all this mixing autobiography and fiction, past and present, with a [[Stream of Consciousness]] approach.
