These days, everybody frets about fiction: according to the National Coalition Against Censorship, the current wave of book bans is the worst since the 1980s, and our cultural debates are consumed by questions about the politics and moral responsibility of storytelling. Can readers and viewers, at any age, be harmed by what they read and see? In Dangerous Fictions, Lyta Gold traces arguments both historical and contemporary that have labeled fiction as dark, immoral, frightening, or poisonous; within each she asks, how "dangerous" is fiction, really? And what about it provokes waves of moral panic and even censorship?"--cProvided by publisher. 0aFictionxMoral and ethical aspects. 0aFictionxPolitical aspects. 4aNovelaxHistoria y crítica  4aFicción xHistoria y crítica  0aBooks and readingzUnited States. 0aMoral panicszUnited States. 0aCensorshipzUnited States. 4aCensurazEstados Unidos 0aLiterature and moralszUnited States. 4aLiteratura y moral zEstados Unidos  0aLiterature and societyzUnited States. 4aLiteratura y sociedadzEstados Unidos
