The estates of authors Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming have made hundreds of edits to their original books. Both estates say the edits have been made out of a desire to consider the sensitivities of modern readers. Critics like Salman Rushdie have called it a form of censorship.
We discuss it all with our guests:
- Linda Sue Park, author of "Prairie Lotus," "The One Thing You'd Save," and many more
- Julia Torres, teen services administrator in Denver Public Libraries, and co-founder of #disrupttexts
- Aaron Terr, director of public advocacy for the Foundation for Individuals Rights and Expression (FIRE)
- Adrienne Pettinelli, director of the Henrietta Public Library
