Jodi Picoult 'furious' over Utah ban of her novel
Original: Salt Lake Book Festival headliner Jodi Picoult was ‘furious’ when Utah banned her novel
Bestselling author Jodi Picoult says she was 'furious' after Utah banned her novel, a decision that has drawn renewed attention as she headlines the Salt Lake Book Festival. The ban stems from Utah's book-removal laws targeting titles deemed inappropriate for schools, and Picoult has been a prominent critic of such measures, arguing they silence authors and limit readers' access to diverse stories.
Why now: Picoult is headlining the Salt Lake Book Festival in a state that has banned her book, making the conflict timely and controversial.
