If my novel features eight or nine n-bombs and one or two f-slurs, would it disqualify me from traditional publication? I'm a typical white dude. It's based on true events, depicting real-life exchanges I was part of where these words were used, and the point is to illustrate the social tension and racial/social dynamics at play in modern Canada. Originally, I had omitted them, but Lish's "Preparations for the Next Life" proved that it was possible to pull it off without being, hopefully, obscene.
