A Banned Books Week conversation with writer, translator, and librarian Frieda Afary about how to use our civic spaces to combat disinformation with knowledgeable conversations
Please read and share my recent Substack novel, "Oddbody," about a disabled librarian fending off book banners with the aid of his ghost ancestor who claims to be the model for the angel, Clarence Oddbody of "It:s a Wonderful Life." At billtrzeciak.substack.com . Any ideas of which publisher to,send it to for print? Includes a history of book bans and burns I compiled before "American Libraries" did.
Thank you Claire Potter. I would just like to add that it was my colleague, Dr. Lisbeth Gant-Britton, author of the book, "African American History" (Holt, 2008) who encouraged me to refer to librarians as "guardians of knowledge."
