Tell The Truth

“The writer’s first job is not to have opinions but to tell the truth… and refuse to be an accomplice of lies and misinformation. Literature is the house of nuance and contrariness against the voices of simplification.”

~ Susan Sontag

    With rampant book banning, telling the truth in literature is becoming increasingly difficult.

      My take, most of the so-called book banners probably never even read the book(s) that want banned. Just want to make life miserable for other people.

        I’d bet my life on the book-banners’ not having read the books they insist upon banning to make America great again.

            Well, as the old saying goes, you can’t have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

    I agree. They are fanatics who want to control the lives of everyone.
