Chapter 19 PL note:

Stumble at 16:19 - 'then' s/b 'than that'

So, chapter 22, the paragraph that begins with "The light that flashed into his face...". The fifth sentence contains the n-word and, yes, it makes me uncomfortable. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry, but my only suggestion would be to give it to someone else. I don't want you to read anything you don't feel comfortable with and we cannot change the text or omit a word. This word was common at the time... So your pick. I am very sorry, I know how commited you are.

I'll keep it. But someday, when I've gone on to The Great Library, George and i will have a little talk about using the word frantically when he means the word frantically.

I am sorry I have no other solution for you. I have sympathy for you but this is our policy.

Oh, no probs-I will make it work. How things have changed since 1904, though: we can say "d-----d" all we want but it's the n-word that causes trouble. And rightly so.

I don't know if this helps, but it is not YOU saying n***r, it's the character. Characters are often unpleasant. Heck, some are even murderers. I know that word is uncomfortable, as it should be. But it's spoken by a fictitious character, not you. I know, I recently recorded The Nigger of the Narcissus. I would never say that word in my personal life, but in that context, it had to be.
