Henry Miller

American writer Henry Miller, born in Brooklyn, New York, is known for several 20th century works that reflect his own personal experiences, including Tropic of Cancer (1934), Black Spring (1936) and The Rosy Crucifixion Trilogy (1965). Millers explicit and often obscene content led the way for a new generation of American writers. He died on June 7, 1980, in Pacific Palisades, California.
