Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Cutie: A Warm Mamma" by Ben Hecht and Maxwell Bodenheim is a satirical novel written in the early 20th century. The book critiques the prudishness and hypocrisy of societal censors regarding sexual expression in art and literature. It follows the eccentric and comical escapades surrounding the titular character, Cutie, a beguiling young woman, and Herman Pupick, a one-eyed, overly pious censor. The story revolves around Herman Pupick, who, as a devoted censor, sees sin and immorality in every corner of society. Cutie, with her enchanting charm and bold attitudes, represents a stark contrast to Herman's rigid moral beliefs. Their comedic encounters unfold as Herman becomes irresistibly drawn to Cutie's vivacity, challenging his repressive worldview. As Cutiedances through life unabashedly, Herman's internal struggles with purity and sin intensify, leading to a series of humorous misadventures. The plot culminates in a chaotic confrontation that highlights the absurdities of censorship and societal expectations around sexuality, ultimately painting a vivid picture of 1920s American culture.
