Contraband

me holding maus
 Psst! I just got my copy of Maus 
(by Art Spiegelman) which put the "novel: in graphic novel back in the 80s, telling the tale of his father's experiences in a Nazi death camp. I'm late to the party. It was lauded back then; now it's being banned by school after school in the usual suspect states.

It literally came in a plain brown wrapper. Keep it on the downlow, willya? They're coming down hard on readers, and I've already got Beloved and Ulysses against me.

"We haven’t learned much from the past, but there’s some things you should be able to figure out. Book burning leads to people burning. So it’s something that needs to be fought against.”--Art Spiegelman
