Hi James, Lady Chatterley was banned in the U.S. for obscenity in 1929. The UK trial was 1960. Or are you saying that the way I have written this makes it seem like Lawrence stood trial and not his publisher? Authors never took that kind of heat after Wilde was tortured. I can fix that language if it is confusing but "slammed" seems so much more visceral ;)

And always feel free to quibble. One of the beauties of the internet is I can still correct mistakes. In print...ugh. You would be surprised how mistakes can get past 10 rounds of proofers. Such little cunts! (Flexing my salty tongue.)
