Subject: Woody Allen book pulped after walkout at publisher
Written By: Philip Eno on 03/10/20 at 1:43 pm
A US publishing house has cancelled plans to publish a memoir by Woody Allen, the award-winning film director who has been accused of sexual abuse. Hachette Book Group (HBG) acted on Friday a day after its employees staged a walkout in New York and Boston to protest against the publication. Allen's son and daughter, Ronan and Dylan Farrow, had condemned the deal. Mr Farrow, a journalist, wrote a book for HBG last year about how powerful men avoid punishment for misconduct.

Cancel culture run amok! So now only books by people who do not make us uncomfortable can be published? Woody Allen has never been convicted of anything. Alrhough technically this is not censorship it still reeks of it. 8-P
