Steve Martin on Monday clapped back at a Florida county for pulling his novel Shopgirl from its school library shelves.
The book is among hundreds of titles being removed from Collier County Public Schools libraries, after the Florida Legislature passed a bill earlier this year permitting schools to restrict classroom materials about gender and sexuality.
Martin reacted with mock glee.
So proud to have my book Shopgirl banned in Collier County, Florida! he wrote on Instagram. Now people who want to read it will have to buy a copy!
