Certain novelists-such as James Joyce, Vladimir Nabokov, Luis Martín-Santos, and Viktor Erofeev-radicalized the content of the novel by incorporating sexual thoughts, situations, and fantasies and thus portraying repressed areas of social, cultural, political, and mental life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Artistic Censoring of Sexuality: Fantasy and Judgment in the Twentieth-Century Novel, \u003c\/i\u003e Susan Mooney extensively examines four modernist and postmodernist novels that prompted in their day harsh external censorship because of their sexual content-\u003ci\u003eUlysses, Lolita, Time of Silence, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRussian Beauty.\u003c\/i\u003e She shows how motifs of censorship, with all its restrictions, pressures, rules, judgments, and forms of negation, became artistically embedded in the novels' plots, characters, settings, tropes, and themes.
