@eliotschrefer about book bans:

“Books aren't just reading experiences, but messages a community tells about its most vulnerable members. Removing books about marginalized people tells them they should be ashamed of who they are.”

Faculty Rebecca Chace has written a beautiful obituary for the great Edith Grossman. Her talent and dedication to her craft of translation were unparalleled, with Gabriel Garcia Marquez himself calling her "[his] voice in English."

@LadyMelleby @PENamerica ...disconnected from your everyday life, so the idea behind sharing these stories with you all is to spread awareness about why this is such an important issue, and why we should be speaking out against it. 3/3

@LadyMelleby was generous enough to share an upsetting email she received about the banning of her book, This is Our Rainbow, in Urbandale Community School District in Iowa.

@PENAmerica has an open letter available for anyone to sign and send: https://t.co/pXDTJmtd9U

@LadyMelleby @PENamerica About Book Bans:

We understand that most, if not all, of our followers and the people who interact with our posts are adults, and there is a large percentage of that group that does not have school-aged children. It's tough to care deeply about something that feels so... 2/3

We've heard what @LadyMelleby has had to say about the book bannings that have been happening more and more frequently. It feels overwhelming, we know, but there are things we can do to help! A photoset 🧵
