Renegade by Frederick Turner

Renegade by Frederick Turner

The untold story of Henry Miller's explosive 1934 novel, banned in America for more than a quarter century

“An entertaining and skillful evocation of the time when Miller’s memoir of bottom-feeding American expats in Paris was known as the dirtiest book in the world”—Lee Sandlin, Wall Street Journal -- Lee Sandlin * Wall Street Journal *
“Turner tells a good story: how Miller’s Tropic of Cancer came to be written, came to be banned and came to be an American classic.”—New York Times Book Review, front cover, Editor’s Choice * New York Times Book Review *
“This short, erudite and highly coloured account of Miller’s creative backstory explores both an extraordinary American life and Miller’s ‘renegade’ American inheritance.”—Robert McCrum, The Observer -- Robert McCrum * The Observer *

“Tropic of Cancer was indeed groundbreaking, and as Turner demonstrates so well, the novel stirred such controversy . . . that it helped pave the way for the liberation of American letters.”—Ron Antonucci, Booklist
