What makes it interesting is the prison-censorship logic: officials treat the book as a practical threat model and collapse the distinction between reading about something and doing it. 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.

The present page is a dossier starter built from source-tracked ban records; the surviving note currently says: The Kansas 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. The exported reason says: 5 ‐ Describes. More publication history, translations, and close reading can be added later.

This page is intentionally incomplete. The ban history is a starter dataset, not a final census of every jurisdiction or decree.
