The Freudians and their “dirty and degraded cult”

“I say deliberately that it is the most infamously obscene book in ancient or modern literature. The obscenity of Rabelais is innocent compared with its leprous and scabrous horrors. All the secret sewers of vice are canalised in its flood of unimaginable thoughts, images and pornographic words. And its unclean lunacies are larded with appalling and revolting blasphemies directed against the Christian religion and against the name of Christ … The book is already the bible of beings who are exiles and outcasts in this and every civilised society. It is also adopted by the Freudians as the supreme glory of their dirty and degraded cult.”

— James Douglas, reviewing “Ulysses” in the Dublin “Sunday Express”.
