Banned Books Week is an event that PPT mentions each year.
Observed this year from 30 September to 6 October, the week is about preserving intellectual freedom. Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries in the United States. It is now observed around the world in various ways. Banned Books Week stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints for all who wish to read and access them.”
This year, PPT urges readers to seek out banned books and read them. We suggest beginning with a bit of Paul Handley’s The King Never Smiles or the คำนำจาก นายสิน แซ่จิ้ว for กษัตริย์ไม่เคยยิ้ม.
In English, readers can explore banned books at Google. And download banned books through links at this site.
