Judy Blume: One of the most banned authors in the U.S.

Posted on April 11, 2008 by Ann Bartow

Video interview with Blume here, at Current TV. Make sure you hear her explanation for the motivations behind her novel “Forever.” Via Jezebel. See also this interview essay about “Forever” that appeared in The Guardian. If it wasn’t for Blume’s book “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,” I might not have learned certain facts of life until I experienced them.

    Judy Blume law-related trivia: the NYLS Law Review published a piece (ca. 1995) she wrote for a symposium on feminism and pornography.
