Blume Most Challenged Author

Freedomforum.org has an Interview with Author Judy Blume. She\’s also the author of five of \”the 100 most frequently challenged books of the decade\” of the 1990s, so she knows a thing or two about censorship. She appears most often on that list. It\’s a great lengthy interview, and worth a read.

\”The pattern of targeting books adds up to three \”S\” words: sexuality, swearing and Satan, she noted.


\”Long, long, long, long before Harry Potter, I would go out and speak about the three S\’s,\” she said \”And that\’s been true for a very long time. People would choose to ban books — Satan\’s been there.\”
