Creative way to fight GOP book banning: Auction for fireproof edition of Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale"

 

Headline:  Milwaukee Independent, 6/23/2022
Atwood and the publishing company Penguin Random House announced Monday that the book will be auctioned off at Sotheby’s New York, both to help PEN America fight censorship and as a challenge to enacted and attempted book bans. 
“To see her classic novel about the dangers of oppression reborn in this innovative, unburnable edition is a timely reminder of what’s at stake in the battle against censorship,” said Markus Dohle, CEO of Penguin Random House.
