Well, there's the bit where Leopold Bloom jerks off at the beach, and Molly's long monologue at the end... it's not a lot, but what there is is pretty frank for the 1930s. At least by Anglo-American serious literature standards, I guess.
I really hope you enjoy M&M - it's such a brilliant satire, hilarious but also one of the strongest condemnations of groupthink and mindless dogmatism I've ever read. I've been (somewhat pretentiously, perhaps) using one of the most famous quotes as my journal subtitle since LJ started dictating what we were allowed to write about: Рукописи не горят - "Manuscripts don't burn". Isn't it funny how books about the vanity of trying to censor ideas often end up being censored?
