The Worst Book in the World
This is the story of the first South African novel banned by the state. It is also the story of probably the worst book Rosa Lyster has ever read. Join her for a fascinating rummage around the peculiar, laughable and sinister records of the apartheid government's censorship board. Rosa is a writer and English literature academic. Among the places you can find her funny, poignant writing are the Sunday Times Lifestyle supplement, 10and5, thehairpin and rosalyster.com
