Freedom to Read Project @freedomreadproject.bsky.social · 8d

According to PEN America’s latest report, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE was the most banned book of 2024—and that should trouble us all.

Books that make us uncomfortable are often the ones that make us think the most. Banning them makes our shelves, and our society, poorer.

“My father was a gardener. Now he’s a garden.” Read from Georgi Gospodinov’s novel Death and the Gardener, translated by Angela Rodel.

Death and the Gardener

My father was a gardener. Now he’s a garden. * I don’t know where to begin. Let that be the beginning. Yes, we’re talking about an end, of course, but where does the end begin? I think I wet myself…
