Banned in Boston

[Deleted]

Oddly enough, I was already old enough as a child to understand that when the rest of the country used "banned in Boston" as an advertising slogan for literature, it meant that something racy was being published in the United States. The last book to be banned dates from 1962, so I guess that there are fewer and fewer people who remember those times.

I read nearly all of them while in my late teens-early 20s, except William Burroughs and the Faulkner book. I remember thinking that Lady Chatterley's Lover was quite poorly written and few people would have read it if it hadn't been banned.
