"Nigger"

But if you cannot even mention the word, let alone use it, but must allude to it by description as we used to speak, for example, of the rise in use by white people of "the mother curse," how awkward must it be nowadays to teach literature.

Twain and Shakespeare must be very difficult.

Is Conrad even possible?

Only just.

The N-Word of the Narcissus.

Awkward, to say the least.
