“My Friend the Censor”: Henry Miller, Huntington Cairns, and Tropic of Cancer

In September the American writer Henry Miller, age 42, had published in Paris his autobiographical novel Tropic of Cancer. In that same month, 3, miles across the Atlantic Ocean in Washington, D.C., the Secretary of the Treasury appointed a young Baltimore lawyer as the official U.S. Censor. One of the new censor’s first acts was to place Tropic of Cancer on the list of books prohibited from importation into the United States. Thus began one of the most extraordinary and long relationships in American literary history.

Miller had been writing novels since , but his first three efforts, written primarily while he was living in Brooklyn and New York, had not been accepted for publication, and he regarded them as failures. In , at the urging of his second wife June Mansfield, Miller moved to Paris in a desperate bid to find himself as a writer.

Comentario sobre un jusfilósofo norteamericano del siglo XX

                                  Huntington Cairns es un casi olvidado filósofo del derecho, norteamericano, que descolló como pensador a mediados del siglo XX, siendo su principal obra titulada “Legal philosophy  from Plato to Hegel”.

                               Cairns no solo fue jusfilósofo, sino que estuvo vinculado a las bellas artes por muchos años, desde su puesto en Washington de Consejero y Secretario de la National Gallery of Art.  Su formación humanística lo relacionó con el filósofo católico Jacques Maritain y su pensamiento fue crítico del positivismo y orientado al reconocimiento del derecho natural.
