Library of Banned Books

Ron Charles tells us that British singer and songwriter Dua Lipa has created a collection of banned books — called The Manifesto Library. It’s in Portugal. The new library is housed in the basement of Livraria Lello, in Porto. In a statement printed on the wall, Lipa writes, “This library is a shrine to books that have disappeared, to authors whose courage unmasks structures of power and control, and to readers who refuse to be told what book they are allowed.” Apparently people are queuing up to pay their $15 entrance fee.
