The magazine\u2019s earliest editors were leery of salty language, and Terry Southern never forgot it.<\/p>\n<p>Our latest issue features <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/letters-essays\/6338\/an-editorial-exchange-george-plimpton-and-terry-southern\">an editorial exchange between Southern and George Plimpton<\/a> from 1958, when they were preparing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/4800\/the-art-of-fiction-no-22-henry-green\">Southern\u2019s interview with Henry Green<\/a> for publication. That interview features a now-classic aper\u00e7u from Green about the origin of his novel <em>Loving<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I got the idea of <em>Loving<\/em> from a manservant in the Fire Service during the war. He was serving with me in the ranks, and he told me he had once asked the elderly butler who was over him what the old boy most liked in the world. The reply was: \u201cLying in bed on a summer morning, with the window open, listening to the church bells, eating buttered toast with cunty fingers.\u201d I saw the book in a flash.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As Southern wrote to Plimpton, \u201cHot stuff, eh George? Well now you realize of course that the word \u2018cunty\u2019 makes the reply, gives it bite, insight, etc. I mean to say it simply would not do to rephrase it, \u2018Lying in bed on a summer morning, with the window open, eating toast with fingers,\u2019 would it?\u201d <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s right, of course\u2014but if it seems he\u2019s being unduly emphatic, that\u2019s because <em>The Paris Review <\/em>had bowdlerized his words before, and he wanted to be absolutely certain it wouldn\u2019t happen again. Southern\u2019s short story \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/5227\/the-accident-terry-southern\">The Accident<\/a>\u201d had appeared in our first issue with a bit of dialogue as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cGet Emergency,\u201d he said. He spoke with a slight lisp. \u201cThey\u2019ve got to get a foam-pump out here. Did you see this thing?\u201d He gestured impatiently toward the burning wreck. Patrolman Stockton and the doctor considered him mutely for the moment, as if the lisp must dry away from the words one by one and let them drop in the dust at his feet all raw and revealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d muttered Stockton, finally turning away, \u201cokay, don\u2019t get hot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Southern aficionados will raise an eyebrow at that last bit: \u201cdon\u2019t get hot\u201d? It\u2019s not a very vigorous reproach\u2014especially not when you bear in mind that this is the same guy who has elsewhere written of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2010\/06\/15\/hard-corpse-pornography\/\">tonguing dead Cong assholes<\/a> with such incredible fervor and abandon as to finally lose consciousness.\u201d What gives?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the editorial powers that be had removed the words <em>your shit<\/em> from Southern\u2019s dialogue. They feared repercussions from the U.S. customs officials, who were vigilant in their search for expletives\u2014censorship was a going concern. Thus \u201cdon\u2019t get your shit hot\u201d became \u201cdon\u2019t get hot,\u201d which was not so hot at all, especially not to Southern, who hadn\u2019t been consulted about the change.<\/p>\n<p>He was so dismayed to see his <em>shit<\/em> removed that a correction ran in the table of contents for our next issue, though, as you\u2019ll see, it added insult to injury:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/southern-correction.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-77162\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/southern-correction.jpg\" alt=\"southern correction\" width=\"600\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/southern-correction.jpg 3224w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/southern-correction-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/southern-correction-1024x277.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One can only imagine the torrent of imprecations that issued from the Southern tongue as he discovered <em>crap<\/em> where <em>shit<\/em> should\u2019ve been.<\/p>\n<p>To remedy the situation once and for all, if belatedly, I would like to present the unexpurgated sentence from \u201cThe Accident\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d muttered Stockton, finally turning away, \u201cokay, don\u2019t get your shit hot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And may the record show that\u00a0<em>cunty<\/em> appeared in Green\u2019s interview with no trouble, though Southern and Plimpton continued to swap jokes about it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/subscribe\">Subscribe now<\/a> and you\u2019ll receive our Fall issue, which contains the gloriously profane (jock straps! razor fights! urinary tract worship!) and totally uncensored Plimpton-Southern correspondence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An anecdote about censorship, since it\u2019s Banned Books Week.
