This passage is not from Tropic of Cancer, it is from Tropic of Capricorn. I've read this book dozens of times and know this passage well. It is Tropic of Capricorn not Tropic of Cancer. Tropic of Capricorn is one of the under-appreciated masterpieces of American literature. What a portrait of New York in the 1920s; what a portrait of Brooklyn; what a portrait of humanity.
Long live Maxie Schnadig and his wife's quivering quim!
@TheNimasan You dont think Henry Miller gets it on with two women at once. You should read Quiet Days In Clichy. When his landlady threw him out of his furnished rooms he pooped in the bureau drawers before he left.
@norb1937 PS . Now that I think about it Henry's girlfriend was Mona. He had a menage trois with her and his ex wife in Brooklyn during a rain storm in the 20's.
His explicit description of all of this is probably why they banned the book here.
it is Tropic of Capicorn just finished it, Sooo Amazing, now reading the Colossus of Maurossi, it's just as amazing, Everything he writes changes me view, He's definitly one of a kind, Everyone should read this man's entire works
Was Rita the woman that Henry had a Menage Trois, which included his ex wife, with. One of the characters in Cancer, according to Henry, was born in a puddle of stale horse piss near the gas house in Brooklyn.
It isn't Henry Miller reading this. Henry read very differently. It sounds more like Hektor Munoz who has a channel on YouTube.
