Publishers Weekly interviews Warren Ellis:
PWCW: Many of the scenes in CLV [Crooked Little Vein] feature sexually explicit subject matter, including scrotal infusion and Godzilla porn. Were there any attempts by your publisher to censor or tone down the more provocative content?
WE: Absolutely none. Honestly, I think they wanted more sex. You know book people. They are all quite prodigious perverts.
Are you telling us you’re a prodigious pervert, Fred?
We know he’s a prodigious pervert. I think he’s implying he’s a “book person”
The two are not mutually exclusive.
