The Wulfshead club is a well known watering hole for all the strange and unusual people in the world. And for those just passing through... No one's quite sure exactly where the club itself is located, and the very anonymous management likes to keep it that way, but there are authorized access points at locations all around the world, if you know where to look. And if your name's on the approved list.

Tomorrow's news
Tell the concierge about it:
SHAKEN NOT STIRRED
"Censorship" or...revisionism?
ReplyDeleteThis really isn't just about replacing one word with another, is it?
A "bold move compassionately advocated" by the book's editor.....in order to "counter the 'pre-emptive censorship' that Dr Gribben observed has caused these important works of literature to fall off curriculum lists worldwide."
ReplyDeleteHeh. That's one exceptionally convoluted piece of denial!
(o_O)
The NewSouth revised edition will not be available until next month. What's taking so long; don't they have access to a speakwrite?

See what happens to you? One of the few white folks back then who sensed black folks' humanity and he gets pilloried for using the "N" word. When Jack London, Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, Claude Bowers and many other white folks fighting for progressive reforms back then (Jack London the Socialist!) all believed black folks were natural born inferiors.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the original Huck Finn won't disappear. Maybe these censors should join teams with David Barton, the scholar in charge of rewriting the Texas school books and frequent guest on Glenn Beck.
(Oh, and what do those school books do? They teach the Gospel as in God created the whole shebang we all share in seven days. The dinosaurs wore diapers, for modesty's sake, as they traipsed around with Adam and Eve. Stuff like that. Stuff guaranteed to make the young and up coming Texans into fully bonafide ignorant citizens believing all kinds of nonsense.) Well, I may exaggerate but I'm close enough.
