COVER GIRLS

COVER GIRLS is a book by GUILLEM MARCH. The Texas prison-ban record treats the book as excluded reading inside state custody, which shows how prison and mailroom censorship function as a government reading regime.

Its interest lies partly in the way literary or informational writing gets collapsed into a public-morality problem. As a book, it can be read not only for subject matter but for the way form, tone, and circulation make a text feel dangerous, intimate, or politically usable to anxious officials.
