Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
If this book had a plot, I could forgive the pernicious misogyny, racial stereotypes, and insufferable arrogance. If it didn’t have the misogyny, racial stereotypes, and arrogance, I could forgive its lack of plot. But alas, it is what it is, and it isn’t worth my time.
One good thing I can say for this book: the writing, the prose itself, is quite good. It drew me along when I wasn’t stopped dead by my complaints in the previous paragraph.
