Girls Lean Back Everywhere

Written by the attorney who argued and won the Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer case before the Supreme Court, this is an acount of the confrontations between censors and artists, from the jailing of Zola's English publisher through the long and painful suppression of Joyce's Ulysses, down to such recent horrors as the persecution of Lenny Bruce and the attempts to obstruct works by Miller, Burroughs, Nabokov, and Mapplethorpe, among others. A rousing, wise, and immensely readable literary adventure.
