À propos de cet épisode

In Donald Trump’s America, banning books is back in vogue, especially if they explore slavery, racism, feminism, gender fluidity, or lifestyles that do not meet with MAGA’s approval. So, what do people really lose when books disappear off library shelves? And are book bans a harbinger of worse things to come? Jackie Kennedy discusses this topic further with the famous author of “1984”, George Orwell.
