Atwood's Short Story Fights Back Against Censorship

Margaret Atwood's new short story is a sharp critique of the recent book ban in Alberta, Canada, where many books were removed from schools.

The ban, pushed by conservative groups, targets books with what they call 'explicit sexual content', impacting numerous titles, including Atwood's own work.

Atwood's response is a satirical piece featuring incredibly well-behaved children, highlighting the irony and absurdity of the censorship.

This cleverly crafted story acts as a powerful commentary on the dangers of restricting access to literature and differing perspectives within society.
