Banned Book

Wondering precisely why The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Twenty Years Walking the Mediterranean will be among the 4,000 books recently banned in Kuwait.

“Responding to political pressure, Kuwait has outlawed more than 4,000 books in the last five years.” — The New York Times, October 1, 2018.
Will The Idiot and the Odyssey III be banned in Kuwait because of its depiction of Muslims in the Middle East, the sex scene with a male bodyguard at the Lebanon-Syria border, the bleak portrayal of Gaza and the Sinai Peninsula, or the informative portrait of ISIS and dictatorial regimes in Syria and Egypt?

The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013.
