Infinite Gestation

George Orwell’s “Why I Write” & Censorship | Episode 001


Listen Later

The fallacy of America's legacy of literary censorship is dissected (sans anesthetic) with a celebration of novels like Ulysses by James Joyce & Lady Chatterly's Lover by D. H. Lawrence. Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" makes a cameo (kudos to Grove Press) and a segue into Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James causes a rather memorable Freudian Slip. Sam brings the boys back to their senses with a brief discourse on the tribulations of Salman Rushdie upon the publication of The Satanic Verses.
