/lit/ - Literature

Contemporary controversial books.

And I don't mean books promoted as controversial, such as American Psycho (I found far worse in 19th century literature), I mean books that are actively shunned, difficult to obtain, or in any way banned in places like Europe (banning Salinger because of swear words doesn't count as controversial).

Being any good is mandatory: you can't post drivel as there is no real controversy unless the material is efficient and dangerous to some ideals.

Pic semi-related: it only became controversial because Mel Gibson used it for his Christ movie.

Same here, OP.

Baronius edition. This book is from a stigmatic who was given to see the Crucifixion herself. It was used for Gibson's movie, and made many butthurts.
