Lady Chatterley's Lover, Including 'a Propos of Lady Chatterley's Lover'

Right?

Lady Chatterley's Lover.

Yes, right.

That was, the state just said, "No.

That's really weird though, 'cause that's about underage girls, so.

[lips smack] Lady Chatterley's Lover.

Yeah, that was more about repression.

It was about people that just weren't allowed to have any sex 'cause they didn't have a husband.

Y sí.

Soy, soy la, la amante, el amante Lady Chatterley.

Y yo hago de Lady Chatterley.

Me paso de ocho a doce.

Sí, hay que repetir escenas.

I don't have to just give you the Scarlet Letter.

Or Lady Chatterley's Lover.

Oh, gosh.

I didn't read that until I was in high school.

But we'd move, you know, and I'm a loner, I'm an only child, and I'm a loner anyway, and I really prefer my own company, I'd like to read, and you know, so we'd move someplace, and I'd make a few friends, but then we'd, you know, up and we'd move farther north, and then it, so it, I kind of got to this place, and they're buying my clothes at Sears, and I don't have a new bike, and all this, and it feels like I start reading, like, banned books.

I'm a reader, I mean, I just, I love to read, and like my, like Lady Chatterley's Lover, you know, that's an adult book, and it's

read that

you know and then I'm reading my mom has all kinds of stuff and like Nietzsche and and Russian Dostoevsky and I'm reading all this God is dead and what's the point of even waking up in the morning and all this kind of stuff and it's like yeah that because that fits my worldview that's what's happening it's like I mean what's God done for me lately you know what I mean and and so I kind of gave God the back of my hand and said you know what you stay on your side of the universe I'll stay on mine and uh You know, no, thank God I found alcohol at 14.

There's all of this kind of stuff that she's wrestling with as a woman of 35 in 1970 [laughs] who has, you know, flouted all of these social conventions that don't matter very much in London but do matter very much in the countryside, and she's, she's kind of trying to navigate these dichotomies, and she's also trying to navigate the fact that there's this guy in, who's a gamekeeper.

She's kind of living her best Lady Chatterley life, and she realizes she doesn't actually fancy him at all because he's so boring, uh, and he hyper-fixates on things like the Waffen-SS, so he's also a little bit fash [laughs].

And he thinks he's better than everybody because he went to college even though he doesn't have any qualifications, and I'm like, "Oh my God, it's Ricky, isn't it?" Um, he does, like, he does karate, and, and he, he's, like, peak physical condition.

Uh, and, like, all of this guy, so he just lives in the woods [laughs].

In Europe, in the US, cunt is foul word number one, but again, artists continue to push.

In 1928, this author named D.H. Lawrence publishes a book called Lady Chatterley's Lover.

It's a banger of a book about the joys of sex from a woman's point of view.

Very, very rare for the time.
