From a Good German, a different kind of story

After this year's Frankfurt Book Fair closed up shop, a reporter called Rowohlt Verlag in Hamburg to find out if a book in its catalogue called "Ich Nicht" had found an English-language publisher.

The answer was no. The woman from the foreign rights department said it was a shame.

Agreed. Published in Germany 13 months ago, "Ich Nicht" is a memoir by the late Joachim Fest, author of the best-known German study of Hitler and a co-publisher of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. It describes his father, his family and growing up in Nazi Germany.

    I think it's a sad abuse of power to censor or otherwise make unavailable any books. Who cares if someone might find them offensive? It's simply a negative reduction of viewpoints. What do you think?
