Steinbeck was pro-censorship — on occasion
I was laid up in bed for a couple of days and , as is wont, re-read a few of my favourite authors.One of them was John Steinbeck.And re-reading Once There Was A War for the umpteenth time, sentences that have obviously always been there during the preceding readings jumped out at me and I re-read and re-read those sentences.Most of them pertained to censorship during World War II and to the rationale, logic and acceptability (or lack) of the censorship.
