Thanks for reminding me. I have to mention that to my students. We're in the middle of British Literature now, and we're moving on to World Literature int he next few months.
Some of these writers have had the dubious distinction of being banned in their own countries as well as this one. It's shameful that a country which fought Communist totalitarianism in the Cold War continues to indulge totalitarians in its midst. Call them by their name--that's what they are.
