Extract

“I know that everyone is opposed to the idea of censorship of literary works. As for me, I believe that censorship can be justified, if it is exercised with probity and does not serve to cover up personal, racial or political persecution.” Thus pleaded Borges, with his taste, very paradoxical here, for provocation. The legitimization of a censorship which is “necessary” for society? This is perhaps also reflected by contemporary French law.
