Troy's Work Table will be reading aloud chapter four of Moby-Dick ("The Counterpane") as part of the Banned Books Week Read Out! at Puyallup Public Library. He'll be doing such dressed up as Herman Melville.
Join TWT and others as they read books that have been challenged or banned in libraries throughout our great nation. Support intellectual freedom and the right to read whatever you want without interference by participating in an event near you or reading a challenged/banned book.

Moby-Dick has been challenged and censored from its very beginning. It was initially published in two versions: a censored British version in October 1851 and the "original" American version in November 1851. Since that time, it has been challenged for homoeroticism, violence, perceived anti-Christian theology, and (most recently) not conforming to community standards.
