"Black Spring" was Miller's second published book, following "Tropic of Cancer" and preceding "Tropic of Capricorn". The book was written in 1932-33 while Miller was living in Clichy, a northwestern suburb of Paris. Like "Tropic of Cancer", the book is dedicated to Anaïs Nin. The book was not published in the United Kingdom or United States until 1963 due to obscenity laws.'
