I call Henry Miller the greatest living author because I think he is. The 1961 edition includes an introduction by Karl Shapiro written in 1960 and titled "The Greatest Living Author". These novels will give way, by and by, to diaries or autobiographies-captivating books, if only a man knew how to choose among what he calls his experiences that which is really his experience, and how to record truth truly. In the 1961 edition, opposite the novel's title page is a quotation from Ralph Waldo Emerson: : 108 : 116 Emerson quotation, preface, and introduction : 109 In 1934, Jack Kahane's Obelisk Press published the book with financial backing from Nin, who had borrowed the money from Otto Rank. Miller gave the following explanation of why the book's title was Tropic of Cancer: "It was because to me cancer symbolizes the disease of civilization, the endpoint of the wrong path, the necessity to change course radically, to start completely over from scratch." : 38Īnaïs Nin helped to edit the book. As Miller discloses in the text of the book, he first intended to title it "Crazy Cock". : 105–107 The fictional Villa Borghese was actually 18 Villa Seurat in Paris' 14th arrondissement. Miller wrote the book between 19 during his "nomadic life" in Paris. And I am absolutely in love with storytelling and word-building by C.S.Pacat. This series is set in a fantasy world where surprisingly there aren’t mythical creatures or magic but rather a world where there are human slaves and pets. C.S.Pacat managed to break and mend my heart with Captive Prince Series. Captive Prince by C.S.Pacat is one of the most beautifully written series in the enemies to lover and slow-burn category that I have come across. This series has changed my opinions, made me think, question my writing skills and raised a bar for Romance books. Fortunately, I am on the list of those people who not only loved these books but became obsessed with them and who can’t seem to stop talking about them. This trilogy has two spectra of audience, either those who love this series or those who hate this series. Front cover of Captive Prince, Prince’s Gambit and Kings Rising by C.S.Pacat.
