Underground Academy: “We’re Just Putting It In Our Files”: Lolita at the Cincinnati Public Library
Wednesday, February 21, 2024, 4pm

When the controversial novel, “Lolita” first appeared, the Cincinnati Public Library decided to do its part to prevent the book’s circulation -- and the public from reading it -- by hiding it. Marianne Cotugno, interim chair of the Department of Justice and Community Studies, examines what Brian Boys calls one of the “few flickers of outrage” in the U.S. about the novel. Join us in the SPACE (GRD 014) or on Zoom at 4 PM.
