unexpurgated about this time, but then it had to be cut or
censored for it's American printing? Does anyone else
remember if I'm correct on that?
************ That is my understanding, Steven. The book
was
"banned" in the USA and only released here in a sanitized
version until many years later. I believe that I read the
original version, and although I thought it an excellent
book, it didn't seem especially racy. You would have thought
Faulkner could have got away with it with his obscure
approach, but even he didn't totally escape the censors'
wrath.
