Censoring books has been a widespread form of control ever since books were in print. The grounds for banning books ranged from political to sociological to educational, while the result has been mainly ambivalent and almost unequivocally a cultural loss.
We will examine a selection of famously banned books and dare to choose one for reading and discussion with our fellow club members in a subsequent meeting.

Location: Maison des Associations, salle Albert Jacquard
Starting time: 7:15 pm sharp
Presenter: Matthew

Format:
Part 1: presenter(s) provide a short overview of the pre-selected books, highlighting some of the reviews and critics and other relevant background. Members who have read any of the books can contribute.
Part 2: participants are invited to introduce any book that they would like to recommend and provide a short overview thereof (on a voluntarily basis).
Part 3: participants vote to select the book to be discussed in one of the upcoming book discussion meetings.
We look forward to seeing you all!
