Utah outlaws books by Judy Blume and Sarah J Maas in first statewide ban
State has ordered books by 13 authors, 12 of them women, to be removed from every public school, classroom and library
The 13 books could be banned under House bill 29, which became effective from 1 July, because they were considered to contain “pornographic or indecent” material. The list “will likely be updated as more books begin to meet the law’s criteria”, according to PEN America.
