Russell Kirk recounts the true story of a librarian?s reaction to
Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury?s depiction of a future in which books are
feared and burned.
The librarian received a copy by mistake, read it, and was duly offended
by it. The book was . . . disturbing. According to Kirk, she fired off a
letter of furious protest to the wholesaler: How dare they send such a
disturbing book! ?I took it right out in back and burned it,? she crowed
proudly.
