First, a disclaimer. I didn’t say it because Sherman’s stunningly accomplished novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, gets challenged and banned in “conservative” communities with chilling regularity because of realistic language, a hilarious masturbation scene and a mirthfully scathing indictment of the difficulties of a young outsider finding his way through institutional racism. I said it because Sherman is a member of the only group in our country who can legitimately lay claim to taking their country back.

I’m in Chicago today, hosting the American Library Association’s Great Chicago Readout, kicking off our celebration of Banned Books Week with authors of some of the top ten banned books of 2010. I look over the list of reasons for the challenges and bannings: religious perspective, homosexual content, sexual content, offensive language, suicide. Human things. Things the people who want to “take our country back” don’t want kids to talk about; human things the “conservative right” doesn’t think should be part of human education. Wow.
