Is it a work of sensitive genius or an execrable volume of pornography? Could it have driven a respectable college boy to commit brutal rape? And who is the author of the novel at the vortex of a storm of sensation and controversy? 'Michael Barret has been asked by a friend to join him in a small law partnership, but has also been offered a huge salary to go into big business. He's certain of his choice, till he is given a chance to be involved with a major case involved with protecting free speech. The case is about the explicit book 'The Seven Minutes', which some people consider pornography, while others, Barret included, feel is impressive literature.

The main focus of the prosecution's case is a teenager who bought the book, and was soon after arrested for rape. According to the prosecution, the book insinuated the boy to do what he did, so it must be banned. The novel follows the course of the trial, as both Barret and the prosecutor search for reputable witnesses to prove their side. So unassuming at first glance, but this book was so much more, a hidden gem. Roland Barthes Journal De Deuil Pdf. I have such respect and admiration for this book. I have deep, deep affection for its inner workings and mechanism, what it tried to do, what it stood for.

It won me over delighting me as it took me through twists and turns exhibited in it. I found myself cheering for the champions, all of them, the book surprising me at every turn, and then surprised me even more. The final act, all of it, felt so satisfying.

The subject matter is mild compared to today's standards and maybe the point it was making is moot now.

But the hue of this book is still so relevant. It made such a convincing case for opening your minds it won the argument over the definition of censorship. Scoring a point, a match point. Wallace in this book raised the question of what is obscene and what is not, and in my opinion answered that question adequately. So what is obscene, to you?

Incidentally, The Seven Minutes inspired Paulo Coelho's Eleven Minutes, the only one of his books that I actually liked. I reckon this novel should be read by everybody especially politician as well as conservative people.

The novel vividly described hidden activation of censors and anti-censors and moral dilemma we are facing today. I was shocked to find that Gibbon`s Decline and Fall of Roman Empire and Mill`s Principles of Political Economy were listed in the Index of Prohibited Books because they are anticlerical. I learned one thing from the novel that moral standards are changing.

I read and enjoyed this in 1972 or 1973, at a time when my reading taste was very commercial and rather indiscriminate, often consisting of healthy doses of the fast-paced, glossy fiction that authors such as Irving Wallace, Harold Robbins and Arthur Hailey produced regularly - I was in my mid-teens and such reading material seemed very grown-up (and to be fair to myself, I was also reading more serious authors such as Ayn Rand).
