Henry Valentine Miller was an American writer known for his unconventional, semi-autobiographical novels that blended character study, social criticism, and explicit content.
His most famous works, including Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, were banned in the United States until 1961 due to their frank depictions of sex and provocative language.
Miller's writing style incorporated stream of consciousness, philosophical reflection, and surrealist elements.
He spent significant time in Paris, which heavily influenced his work.
Beyond novels, Miller wrote travel memoirs, literary criticism, and painted watercolors.
His innovative approach to literature challenged existing forms and paved the way for greater artistic freedom.
