Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time has made countless appearances in classrooms across the country since it was originally published in 1962.
But did you know it's also one of the most frequently banned books as well?
Criticism has ranged from the book being too religious to it not being religious enough.
When asked about her book being challenged, L'Engle responded “It seems people are willing to damn the book without reading it. Nonsense about witchcraft and fantasy. First I felt horror, then anger, and finally I said, ‘Ah the hell with it.’ It’s great publicity, really.” (New York Times, 2001).
Adapted for the stage, A Wrinkle in Time begins a two weekend run at Shoreline Community College on Friday December 1, 2023.
