Forty years ago, Gay's The Word was reeling from raids by HM Customs & Excise. You might've heard of 'Operation Tiger', but probably know less about the books accused of being 'indecent or obscene'. Our new exhibition Senate House Library School of Advanced Study, University of London reveals more –

Selamlik - the superb debut novel by Syrian writer Khaled Alesmael🐝 is now available in English. Beautifully written and touching on many themes including passion between men, childhood, the savagery of civil war, exile and life as a refugee, we can't recommend it enough.
🏳️🌈 #SeizedBooks launches today!
Our new online exhibition explores the censorship of LGBTQ+ lit & the defiant campaign against 1984 raids on Gay's The Word.
