This may as well (or even more likely) be censorship by the publisher than the author's own decision. But this is something that I'm simply not able to understand: when you read "f--" and
know that it means "fuck," so that "f--" in the text basically serves as a logogram for "fuck," what difference can this possibly make to having it spelled out?
