There are many ridiculous comments in Stephen Amidon's Times gush-fest of Philip Roth, but I think Roth provides the best quote:
"On the reception of Portnoy’s Complaint so many claimed to be offended by the masturbation. But that’s silly. Everybody knew about masturbation. What they were really offended by was the depiction of this level of brutality in a Jewish family."
