BANNED BOOK SUMMARY

The Thin Man BY Hammett, Dashiell

From the book:

NORA: Tell me something, Nick. Tell me the truth: when you were wrestling with Mimi, didn’t you have an erection?

(It also helped the book get banned in Canada.) Most subsequent editions—those not published by Knopf—altered the passage to “…when you were wrestling Mimi, didn’t you get excited?”
