Details
Discuss an award winning dystopian novel where the main character struggles with excessive controls on individual liberty and the banning and burning of books. *Fahrenheit 451* by Ray Bradbury was written during the McCarthy era. It was motivated by Nazi book burnings, Soviet ideological suppression, and his concern that books could be burned in the US. Explore this book’s ongoing relevancy and prescience. In conjunction with our special exhibit *Banned Books 250*, we are hosting monthly banned books book clubs with the San Francisco Public Library.
