The Trials of Portnoy

How Penguin Brought Down Australia’s Censorship System

Patrick Mullins
Philip Roth’s 1969 novel Portnoy’s Complaint scandalized America with its frank description of teenage lust. In Australia it was banned. This book follows the development of the country’s draconian censorship laws from the colonial period, and explains how Penguin, having overturned the Lady Chatterley ban in the UK, took to the Australian courts to usher in a new era of literary freedom.
