 Paul Mackin wrote about the sexual descriptions in GR and the fact that
not many people remember the pre-Lady Chatterley days. GR was officially
unbanned in South Africa late in the eighties. When I tried to get hold
of a copy in the seventies, I was informed that it had been deemed
undesirable because of explicit sexual descriptions. Fortunately I knew
an air stewardess (as they were known in those days). Lady Chatterley,
along with most of Henry Miller's novels.
