You Can't Say That!: Writers for Young People Talk About Censorship, Free Expression, and the Stories They Have to Tell

內容簡介

內容簡介 兒童文學史學家雷納・馬可斯訪談十三位青少年讀物作家 探討言論自由與閱讀自由 我們該讓青少年閱讀什麼樣的內容？當言論自由受到箝制時會發生什麼事？這兩種思考在美國持續引發論戰中。然而已有許多涉及種族、性別、LGBTQ問題、神秘主義、「粗俗語言」等方面的兒少書籍已經被禁書……。 兒童文學史學家與專業書評家雷納・馬可斯訪談了十三位曾被禁書的頂尖兒少年作家，以具有洞見的問題，討論書籍審查制度對作家寫作以及教育與思想的影響，以及那些支持此制度的人們的看法，並從歷史背景探討美國憲法第一修正案所遇到的種種挑戰，也展望未來能有保護言論自由、捍衛年輕人閱讀權利的支持網絡。 受訪的作家包括【內褲超人】的作者戴夫．皮爾奇，以及也曾被禁書而後出書大談禁書議題的大衛．賴維森。 What happens when freedom of expression comes under threat? In frank and wide-ranging interviews, historian and critic Leonard S. Marcus probes the experience of thirteen leading authors of books for young people. A powerful photo essay on transgender teens is called anti-religious and anti-family. A meticulously researched primer on sex education stirs up accusations of pornography and child abuse. Picture books about two mommies (or two penguin daddies) set off a hue and cry. Two hugely popular children's series run afoul of would-be censors, one for its scatological humor, the other because it's deemed too scary. Kids' books that touch on race, sex, LGBTQ matters, the occult, "coarse language," and more have found themselves under the scrutiny of those who challenge First Amendment rights. Tune in as thirteen top children's and young adult authors speak out about what it's like to have your work banned or challenged in America today. Prompted by Leonard S. Marcus's insightful questions, they discuss why their books have faced censorship-both blatant and "soft"-how the challenges have or haven't affected their writing, and why some people feel they have the right to deny access to books. In addition, Leonard S. Marcus puts First Amendment challenges in a historical context and takes a promising look at the vibrant support network that has risen up to protect and defend young people's rights. Authors interviewed include: Matt de la Peña Robie H. Harris Susan Kuklin David Levithan Meg Medina Lesléa Newman Katherine Paterson Dav Pilkey Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell Sonya Sones R. L. Stine Angie Thomas.
