}}Love Me Sailor is a 1945 novel from Australian author Robert Close.[2][3]

Plot

A woman travels on a ship from Chile to the US.[4]

Background

Close finished writing the book in 1943.[5]

Adaptations

The book was to have been adapted into a radio play in 1946 but the production was cancelled at the last minute.[6]

Obscenity Trial

In 1946 Close and "Georgian House Pty Ltd", the publisher of the novel were prosecuted in the Supreme Court of Victoria for "obscene libel".[7][8][9]

During the first trial, the entire 90,000-word book was read to the jury by counsel for the prosecution twice: the first jury was discharged when the court was notified that the foreman of the jury had discussed the case with one of Close's friends.[10] Close was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and a fine of £100.[11] This was later overturned on appeal; he served 10 days in prison and was fined £150.[11]
