A novel by Henry Miller, first published in Paris in 1934. The book is set in 1930s Paris and is written in the first person, describing the narrator's bohemian lifestyle, sexual encounters, and philosophical reflections. It was highly controversial for its explicit sexual content and was banned in the United States for many years, becoming a landmark case for freedom of speech in literature when it was finally published there in 1961.
