"Lady Chatterley's Lover" Is Among These Iconic Books That Have Been Banned

Alison Bechdel's graphic memoir "Fun Home" ($13, originally $18) has earned plenty of acclaim since its 2007 publication, and it's even been turned into a Tony-winning Broadway musical. Its frank depictions of topics including sexuality and LGBTQ+ identity, abuse, and suicide have also made it a highly challenged book. In 2015, it made the American Library Association's (ALA) Top 10 list for most frequently challenged books, and as recently as 2022, it has been banned — even, occasionally, against the recommendations of review boards — in districts in Missouri and South Dakota.
