Too sexy, too queer, too radical? 

NIBS' new book club focusing on banned and controversial books and authors...

These are some of the books that defined modern conceptions of taste, politics, sexuality and art by pushing the boundaries of morality and common sense. 

How do they shape up in a contemporary context? Groundbreaking or banal? Liberated or chauvinist? 

Join us for a glass of wine and a chat about these controversial classics.
