Haven't read that.
I think the controversy over the title makes it harder to find. Didn't some publishers change it to something less offensive?
Like the Agatha Christie book.

In the United States, the novel was first published under the title The Children of the Sea: A Tale of the Forecastle, at the insistence by the publisher, Dodd, Mead and Company, that no one would buy or read a book with the word "******" in its title,[4] not because the word was deemed offensive, but because a book about a black man would not sell.[7]

In 2009, WordBridge Publishing published a new edition titled The N-Word of the Narcissus, which completely excised the word "******" from the text. According to the publishers, the offensive word may have led readers to avoid the book, and thus by getting rid of it the work was made more accessible.[8] Although praised by some, others denounced the change as censorship.
