Girls Lean Back Everywhere: The Law of Obscenity and the Assault on Genius Paperback - 1993

by Edward de Grazia

From Ulysses and Lolita to Lenny Bruce and 2 Live Crew, defense attorney de Grazia weaves provocative and sometimes appalling case histories into an incisive look at obscenity: what it is, who defines it, and whether it is possible to ban even its most troubling instances without unraveling the fabric of democracy.
