Henry Miller is that Tropic of Cancer guy. Now, I knew that (mostly thanks to Cape Fear), but I kept confusing Henry Miller with Arthur Miller. Then I thought, no, wait a second, what did I read by him?
Buzz.
That would be Henry James. But I've got it all figured out now...
Side note: When trying to figure out the literary references in Cape Fear, I wondered how the creepy Cady guy could get such mirth out of Tropic of Capricorn and such, because I was busy thinking about James' long-windedness. But then I thought, "Hello, phallic references by the bagful" and dismissed my uncertainty.
