Freedom to Read Week: Irving Layton's Defence of Dog Show Girl and Deviate is Not Taken Seriously


The Globe & Mail, 17 April 1973


I began by attacking the puritanism and the anti-sexuality that was in this country then, and the philistinism and the materialism, and I still go on attacking those things which I find are defects in our body politic.
– Irving Layton, 1979
