Description
This was one of several pamphlets written by Russell on the practical and psychological adjustments needed to make independence work. Sinclair, who was Jewish, later sued Oliver St. John Gogarty for libel based on antisemitic passages in Gogarty’s memoir, As I was Going Down Sackville Street. One observer wrote, "Only The Pickwick Papers, rewritten by James Joyce, could really capture the mood of this trial." Samuel Beckett returned from France to give testimony on behalf of Sinclair, who won the case.
