Murray McArthur on James Joyce's Ulysses

Joyce's novel Ulysses was banned in the US due passages of the book dealing with characters masturbating and obscenity. Throughout the 1920s, the United States Post Office Department burned copies of the novel. The decision of lifting the ban came in 1933 under the rule of US federal judge John M. Woolsey.
