“New York and Back” is a light and elegant “jazz legend”, created between “Tropic of Cancer” and “Tropic of Capricorn” and is considered a kind of sideline of this dilogy. First published only TEN YEARS after it was written, this book, thoroughly “internal” and “jazz-party”, is still perceived as a TRUE CHRONICLE OF JAZZ CULTURE of the 30s...Henry Miller. The crowned king of the “jazz culture” of the 30s. XX century. FIRST English-language author who made profanity “literary” and “normative”. Author of the LEGENDARY dilogy “Tropic of Cancer” and “Tropic of Capricorn” - and the still CULT trilogy “Sexus”, “Plexus” and “Nexus”
