D.H Lawrence

[E.A Rumfield]

Another one of Lawrence's books that enraged the censors is the novella entitled "The Man Who Died". He had to publish it in France under the title "The Escaped ****". It tells the tale of Jesus, who having survived his crucifixion, leaves his tomb and sees a rooster, and this little flame of life inspires him to embrace the world, carnality included. He travels to an island in the sea and beds a beautiful priestess of Isis, miraculously escaping from any domestic entanglements too!

That sounds great. I like novellas. I couldn't get into Tolstoy but I liked his novella The Cossacks. Dostoevsky' novella The Gambler was one of my favorite works by him.

A rather unfortunate title.

The Escaped . . . what? It could be any number of four letter choices.

****. I googled it just now.

Edit: Oh no! It got automatically censored! First time that's happened to me.

I sense a game of censorship charades is upon us! What does it rhyme with?

It's another word for rooster
