Book
Rainbow Party is a novel commissioned by a Simon & Schuster editor. The author is Paul Ruditis. The book, which Library Journal declined to review, is about teens who fantasize about having a rainbow party.
The book has proven controversial, as it was meant for teenagers (recommended by the publisher for ages 14 and up), thus raising questions about its propriety. In turn, concerns were raised that excluding the book from bookstores and libraries would amount to censorship. The publishers justified Rainbow Party on the grounds that it was a cautionary tale intended to teach readers that oral sex can be dangerous.
