NEW FREE ZINE ALERT!

Recent events have inspired me to publish a new edition of my essay "How [Not] to Destroy a Culture: On Book Banning in the U.S.," which I originally wrote as the afterword for my anthology For the Love of Books, now with an updated author's note about how recent election results and Project 2025 will impact books. As someone who works in a public library, this subject is near and dear to my heart and I hope you'll hear what I have to say. The zine is available to read for FREE on Gumroad: https://easterday.gumroad.com/l/how-to-destroy-a-culture
