2.Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller

亨利·米勒《北回归线》

“I like Henry Miller. I think he is the greatest American writer.”[/en

]“我喜欢亨利米勒，他是美国最伟大的作家。”

[en]What was salacious and banned American reading in the 1930's (but not in France) can now be added to anyone's reading list. The over-the-top descriptions of women's bodies provide insight into Miller's own tempestuous personal life, and the deep anger expressed at life's unfairness was all his own. From disappointing night club jaunts to a parade of interactions with prostitutes, the main character celebrates all things out of the ordinary and the triumph of the body – if not the body politic. They are good for free dinners and conversation, but not much more. Those inspired by the Beat writers, like Jack Kerouac, may find this a fascinating reading list addition.

20世纪30年代（并非在法国），露骨的美国禁书现在已经对所有人开放。对于女性身体的过多描写能让我们看到米勒混乱的私生活，以及他对人生中不公的愤慨。从让人失望地沉迷夜总会，再到与妓女厮混，主人公以一些非正常的事为乐，追求身体的愉悦，而与政治无关。它们使人们能够享受免费的晚餐，相互交谈，但也是仅此而已。那些喜欢垮掉的一代的作家的人，例如杰克•凯鲁亚克， 会觉得这个书目非常精彩。
