“Literary censorship should not be necessary within the parameters of the law because it's simply a reflection of prevailing social prejudices!
Writing should challenge and change prevailing ideas - churning the guts and ruffling feathers of friends, family and society. Antagonizing is a product of open writing. Expecting less is resignation and stagnation that slides the art into the status-quo.
Writing needs the wider view that shows the causality of our prevailing social prejudice - and shakes at its foundation.
Writers spare us no less and please leave your praise and oppugn to Christopher Hitchens.”
