4 Controversial Books that Are Definitely Worth Reading


What makes a book so controversial that petitions start to get filed to get them off the shelves? Everyone is not a fan of the written words – offensive language, religious views, detailed sexuality portrayed in an obscene way, and of course, how can you skip the homosexuality part. There are many books that were way ahead of their time and people couldn’t wrap their heads around them, but as the time passed and literature grew, those books started to make sense and got the respect that they deserve.
Here we have compiled a short list of some of such books, although, we are not sure some of them will get the ‘classic’ stature any time soon, but they sure created controversy and made people uncomfortable with each turning page.

1.       Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teen Speak Out – Susan Kuklin



People have narrow minds and it takes them a while to understand the simplest of things going on around them. Beyond Magenta is not a classic but it is a book that parents, young students should read. The book created controversy for being anti-family and for containing abstracts about homosexuality, sex. Offensive language of the book didn’t help its cause either. Writers and authors like Nirmal Singh Lotus Green have appreciated the book and have asked parents to give it a try, at least once.

2.       Fun Home – Alison Bechdel




The book is tremendously detailed. How is that different from any other book? The fact that it got the heat from the readers and people with ‘moral’ just because it had some graphic images is enough to know how difficult it is to express yourself in today’s day and age when everyone is waiting to get offended. The book is violent and Alison’s detailed drawings make things a bit raunchier and well, violent, to say the least.

3.       Two Boys Kissing – David Levithan



The title is enough for you to understand why this one made the this, isn’t it? It shouldn’t be. Homosexuality is natural and people should understand this now. It has been around for ages but still people find it uncomfortable. The book is authentic and beautifully written and most importantly, it moves the reader. Why the controversy? People condoned the public display of affection the book thrived on and of course, it being between two boys.

4.       The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time – Mark Haddon



To put things into perspective without going into detail, the book came under a lot of heat because people thought it was unsuited for various age groups, had offensive language, atheism and profanity. ‘The use of words in the book is simple – when Christopher is not able to understand what’s going on in his mind, the reader can make sense of everything’, expert writer Nirmal Singh Lotus Green said about the book.
