Today Pip Adam's theme is 'banned books'. She's been prompted to go back through time following the news that Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer prize-winning novel about the Holocaust, Maus was removed from the curriculum by a Tennesee school board. The books she's talking about are A Matter of Obscenity: The politics of censorship in Modern England By Chris Hilliard, Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K LeGuin and an essay from the same author written in 1976 titled, 'Is Gender Necessary? Redux".
