Censorship Agencies: Literature Censorship Board
Decision: 30 Oct 1955
NAA Source: A3023; Folder 1955-1956
Censorship notes: One censor commented: 'This is one of the most unsavoury books that I have ever read - so nauseating that I cannot bring myself to write a synopsis of the story. The author's world is peopled almost exclusively with homosexuals, whose practices are described in revolting detail. The treatment of Gaylord Le Claire's 'romance' with Robert Blake and of the former's experiences with Paul Boudreaux, the description of the sodomites' orgy in New Orleans, and the tone of the book as a whole, leave no doubt in the reader's mind that this world is intended as a glorification of paederasty.'
Censorship notes: The prohibition was maintained at reviews in 1958 and 1963. The book was released on 11.02.1971.
