Why is your book banned? That's a question we posed to some of the banned authors at our "Who's Afraid of Fiction?" event, hosted by the PEN America Young Patrons Leadership Committee and Advisory Council during Banned Books Week. The PEN America Young Patrons are emerging philanthropists in their 20s and 30s who help identify, support, and elevate emerging creative voices whose work stands at the intersection of literary freedom and political engagement. And we are actively accepting members! T
