Listen to the authors of Utah— STOP banning books! Let Utah Read!

That time I did the keynote at a conference: youtu.be/d0p5I-WX6cc?si…

In the new Salt Lake City Weekly, I wrote a direct response to Ken Ivory’s disingenuous, lie-filled “defense” of Utah’s draconian book banning through the lens of Craig Thompson’s masterpiece from Drawn & Quarterly, Blankets. (cc Let Utah Read League of Utah Writers) cityweekly.net/utah/the-case-…

The case against banning Craig Thompson's Blankets. Check out the article by Bryan Young cityweekly.net/utah/the-case-…

I was on a panel last week to discuss reading freedom and banned books in Utah alongside other members of the League of Utah Writers, Let Utah Read, and Christian McKay Heidecker. It's worth a watch, I think. Especially if you're Ken Ivory #UtPol youtube.com/watch?v=XU39gJ…

Thank you to the Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters for honoring Let Utah Read with an honorary membership recognizing our work advocating for the right to read, freedom of thought, and freedom of expression.
