okay enough with the scatological references. When asked how far is too far as a selector I want to know... graphic sex? Is fuck every other word? Truth is if the writing is excellent, I don't even notice the
"swear words" until they are pointed out to me. An example of that would be Feed by M.T. Anderson or Smack by Melvin Burgess . Everything that could be considered "objectionable" makes sense and serves the story. Lisa
