  A biography, autobiography, criticism and sexual politics, celebrating the life and, in particular the work of Henry Miller. Best known for Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn , his torrid and marvellous evocations of the vie de boheme in Paris between the wars, Henry Miller appears the archetypal male American writer at large - outrageous, over-sexed, happier in France and Greece than in the Aglo-Saxon world. Branded as a sexist, he was at heart a romantic, a radical innocent abroad. He wrote Jong a fan letter on the publication of Fear of Flying , and became her mentor and friend, considering her his alter ego in female form.
