Banned Talk

[stevenpiziks]

Yesterday I drove down to the Carolyn Kennedy Library to give a talk on banned books.  I spoke as a slightly-banned author (the library at the school where I teach refused to carry one of my movie novelizations because it was based on an R-rated movie) to a small but interested audience.  We discussed the reasons books are challenged or banned, what books were frequently challenged last year, and the history of book banning (and burning).  It went quite well, really.
