    What book by Woody Allen was banned by what government, and why?

    Question #97788. Asked by author. (Jul 21 08 7:45 PM)

    Okay I am one third of the way there - the government that banned Allen's work is the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Iranian government.

    President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government is cracking down on Iranian writers in a new government censorship purge. The books granted permission to be published during former President Khatami's rule are to be checked once again by the cultural ministry of Ahmadinejad, otherwise the permission will be dismissed. Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance vets all books before being published.

    The ban also covers other books, such as A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf, La Musica by Marguerite Duras, Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, and some books by Heinrich Böll, Woody Allen, Federico Garcia Lorca and Hermann Hesse. The books featuring lyrics by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Doors, Black Sabbath, Queen and Guns n' Roses are subsequently blacklisted.
