As others have said, fascinating! There are references online to a Putnam edition in 1929 or 1930, but I'm not sure I believe them. Obviously if there were such an edition it would have been heavily bowdlerized. And it reminds me of the story about Dorothy Parker (I think?) meeting Norman Mailer and commenting "Oh, it's the young man who doesn't know how to spell 'fuck'!" Now that's fuggin' witty!

Have you ever read Patricia Anthony's novel Flanders? It's a multi-faceted WWI/bildungsroman/fantasy (maybe, just a little)/queer (IIRC) novel by a woefully underappreciated writer.
