I've read this book time and time again and I don't understand how this could have been described as "pornographic" at the time it was published in 1942. I'm not Irish and I admit I don't understand the political and social forces at work in Ireland at that time, but can anyone shed some light on why this book created such an uproar then? And the word "pornography" today brings to mind explicitly sexual material, not a story of an elderly Irish couple . . . ? What am I missing here? Please help me understand . . . tnx!
