Dua Lipa opened the Manifesto Library at Porto’s Livraria Lello bookstore in July 2026, celebrating 100 “banned books” including The Handmaid’s Tale, Animal Farm, and The Satanic Verses — none of which are actually banned anywhere in the Western world. As a science fiction and fantasy author who was genuinely removed from convention appearances, had distribution agreements pulled, and was deplatformed for his political and religious beliefs, Jon Del Arroz responds to the celebrity banned books trend with a first-hand account of what real author cancellation actually looks like in 2026.
