Follow on Google News | Book Too Risque For City ResidentsOn the heels of intense protests over censorship and anti-piracy legislation, CURSES! A F***ed Up Fairy Tale, a new novel set to be released on March 1, 2012 from Kensington Books, is judged by the four letter word on the cover.
By: j.a. kazimer And yet, in the last few years, publishing has taken a very different stance on literary profanity, selling books like Go the---- to Sleep, S**t My Dad Says, and now CURSES! A F***ed Up Fairy Tale. Booksellers and readers have responded positively by the use of literary profanity, according to the USA Today (27, October 2011). The author of CURSES! A F***ed Up Fairy Tale hopes the trend of literary profanity continues, and embraces being viewed as inappropriate. J.A. Kazimer hopes readers will too. “Censorship, in any form, can only hurt our country. In this day and age, we need to express our frustrations, and what better ways than through the use of swear words.” CURSES! A F***ED UP FAIRY TALE Definitely not for baby’s bedtime reading, this hilarious and irreverent take on classic fairytales—think Shrek for grownups—combines humor, mystery, and characters only a fairy godmother could love… Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, J.A. Kazimer moved at a young age, and now lives and writes in Denver, Colorado. J.A. holds a master's degree in forensic psychology, and has worked as a PI, bartender, and most recently at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics.
