Description: BANNED: WHEN REAL LIFE FICTION MEETS THE CENSOR Countless stories
drawn from his work as an educator, mental health expert and child protection
advocate have made author Chris Crutcher's novels realistic, compelling and
unflinchingly real. Incest, rape, abortion, racism, and neglect were more
common in his 25 year therapy practice than they are in his compelling books.
But what happens when realistic fiction flags the conservative censor? How does
this candid author respond? And why does winning the battle really matter?
Crutcher will map out his history with and response to being challenged and
banned for more than two decades.
