Summary of Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was sent to Paris for a reason I have yet to understand. I have no money, resources, or hopes. I am the happiest man alive. The world around me is dissolving, and I am left with only spots of time. #2 I have lunch with Borowski on Wednesday. His wife, who is a cow, officiates. I do not share Van Norden’s opinion of himself. I do not agree that he is a philosopher or a thinker. He is just cunt-struck. #3 I am a sentient being stabbed by the miracle of these waters that reflect a forgotten world. I am suffocated by it. No one can communicate even a fraction of their feelings to me. #4 Irène had a valise instead of a cunt. She wanted fat letters to shove in her valise. She was a liar, and never bought a bed for her King Carol. She wanted extension pricks, self-exploding rockets, and hot boiling oil made of wax and creosote.
