James Branch Cabell (1879-1958) was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres. Cabell was well regarded by his contemporaries, including H. L. Mencken and Sinclair Lewis. Cabell is best known for Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice, which was the subject of a celebrated obscenity case shortly after publication, but the judge declared the book only suggestive in a veiled and subtle way of immorality. But this case made Cabell internationally famous. In Taboo, he thanks John H. Sumner and the Society for Suppression of Vice for generating the publicity that gave his career a boost.
