Reviews
An illustrated collection of short stories that explore the theme of censorship in all its complexity... the pieces not only represent a broad range of lived experiences and viewpoints but also offer a kaleidoscopic rather than myopic perspective on the subject of censorship. * Publishers Weekly *
Aiden Shaws Penis & Other Stories of Censorship from Around the World is a wide opening testimony that should definitely continue. Only the power of stories about censorship, revealing how naked the king is in fact, can break the long lists of forbidden words of censorships. -- Ilana D. Weissz * wildwritinglife *
