Reading Them Anyway – Banned Books Week 2016 | Episode 038Update: 2016-09-27
Description
Read a banned book today! Once again breaking traditional episode format, Infinite Gestation celebrates Banned Books Week with three short segments on Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath and Joseph Heller’s Catch 22 respectively, followed by a general discussion entailing the questionable wisdom behind literary censorship.
All three selections from this episode are readily available from your favorite bookstore.
For purposes of correction, it should be noted that John Steinbeck was in his early thirties (not early to mid twenties) when his parents passed away. Patrick apologizes for the error.
