Happy Banned Books Week! It might be hard to imagine the practice of book banning in the 21st century, but censorship remains a very real threat to the availability of important works today. From obscenity trials to jail time to school board scandals, writers and their works face surprising hurdles on their way to connecting with readers. At Open Road, we are honored to make many controversial classics available in the digital age, including William Styrons The Confessions of Nat Turner. For more on the story behind the censorship of this and other novels, visit Open Road Integrated Medias book guide below. For the rest of the month, the ebook edition of The Confessions of Nat Turner is on sale for $2.99. We hope this inspires new readers and old to pick up the novel!
