Good news: The Harvard Gazette is going to come and do a story of my Banned Books Week popup exhibition next Thursday afternoon! (Open to the public, please stop by if you're around.) https://libcal.library.harvard.edu/event/15380035Bad news: I have a week to make sure I'm at published-in-Harvard's-official-newspaper levels of knowing what I'm talking about.

@overholt There's plenty that can be said about books that have been banned that most people think ought to be available -- it seems crazy to ban *The Handmaid's Tale*. Do you also discuss the banning of books that are generally considered repugnant, like *The Turner Diaries*?

@mpjgregoire I don't have that one. The closest thing in the show might be The Anarchist Cookbook?

@overholt I remember *The Anarchist Cookbook* from when I was a teen -- I'm glad I didn't make napalm and burn the house down. Dangerous.So you don't have any examples of hate speech among your banned books?

@mpjgregoire No, it's mostly sex and heresy.
