Unclean Lips

In 1887, nine out of nineteen (47%) of the people arrested for obscenity whose religion was noted in the society's records were Jewish. - Unclean Lips by Josh Lambert
He's not letting us know, though, what was the total percentage of obscene books published by Jews.

Acknowledgements section ends with the following sentence: "And Sara and Asher? What else can I say but that I owe you both so fucking much?"

очень трогательно

Unclean Lips is from Isaiah 6:5: "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."
