Are you willing to be seen reading a book titled \u003cem\u003eCensorship Now!!\u003c\/em\u003e in public? If so, your skin might burn with funny glances from squares, scolds and looky-loos. But on the inside, you'll feel your brain throbbing as it swells to accommodate some hilarious, absurd, and radical new strategies on how to live in our ridiculous world.\" --\u003cem\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Svenonius' new book is \u003cem\u003eCensorship Now!!\u003c\/em\u003e, and the title alone shows just how provocative the author can be. A collection of essays previously published by \u003cem\u003eVice, Jacobin\u003c\/em\u003e, and others, it sets up numerous enemies--both real and straw--for Svenonius to knock down. . . . It's all couched in a style that's part anarchist tirade, part postmodern critique, and part punk-rock snottiness--yet it's addictively ridiculous.\" --\u003cem\u003eNPR\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIan F.

It's an underground smash which has been met with a horrified gasp in all respectable quarters and gog-eyed enthusiasm in artist garrets the world over.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akashic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45031542063255,"sku":"9781617754098","price":1289.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781617754098.webp?v=1769206886","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/censorship-now-9781617754098","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
