Published in conjunction with the PEN American Center, Burn This Book explores the meaning of censorship, and the power of literature to inform the way we see the world, and ourselves. Contributors including Toni Morrison, Salman Rushdie, Orhan Pamuk, David Grossman, Nadine Gordimer and other literary heavyweights, discuss the importance of writing from various views, both political and social. They illustrate the need for freedom of speech and human rights, and they emphasize the target writers become in a tyranny.
Both provocative and timely, Burn This Book includes a sterling list of award-winning writers and is sure to ignite spirited dialogue on the issues of censorship and freedom of speech. HarperCollins Publishers has also created a dedicated Web site to raise awareness of literary censorship.
