From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"The recent judgment on Last Exit to Brooklyn is a sorry and disquieting affair. It is not only a question of the inability of the law to encompass matters of aesthetics—a question. [...] The book is what the enlightened American judgment on Ulysses called 'emetic.' To be sick may not be pleasant, but there is no law against making people sick." |
