Description

Taboo is a comic fantasy novel by James Branch Cabell, set in a world where history and fantasy collide. In this work, written in the style of medieval history, Cabell tells the story of Philistia, a country dedicated to the persecution of ill-defined vice and taboo. The novel is a satirical critique of high-minded critics and explores the cultural environment that led to its own author's work being persecuted. By inventing a whole world to air his grievances, Cabell reflects on the matter in the only way he knew how - with bold and irreverent humour. This book offers a unique perspective on the nature of art and censorship, and is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding Cabell's vision of literature.
