Buncombe County Schools Board bans NYT bestselling book; which one?

new york times book of birthday

ASHEVILLE – A trend sweeping school districts around the United States has found its way to the Buncombe County Board of Education: Book banning.

During its Feb. 8 meeting, the Buncombe County School Board unanimously voted to ban “Tricks” by Ellen Hopkins from schools in the district. The 2009 New York Times bestselling novel about five teenagers who fell into prostitution will no longer be available to students at county schools.

The decision was the final piece of a multi-step process that started when a community member and three parents challenged 10 books at Enka High School in October 2023, according to a Jan. 5 memo to Superintendent Rob Jackson. Most of the books are award-winning or bestselling. BCS spokesperson Timothy Reaves told the Citizen Times Feb. 19 that the group recommended Enka High remove the following books:

  • "Impulse" by Ellen Hopkins, published 2007;
  • "Beloved" by Toni Morrison, published 1987;
  • "Burned" by Ellen Hopkins, published 2006;
  • "Doing It! Let's Talk About Sex" by Hannah Witton, published 2017;
  • "Nineteen Minutes" by Jodi Picoult, published 2007;
  • "Perfect" by Ellen Hopkins, published 2011;
  • "Sold" by Patricia McCormick, published 2006;
  • "Tricks" Ellen Hopkins;
  • "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen, published 2006; and
  • "Wicked: Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory McGuire, published 1995.

Enka High’s Media Technology Advisory Committee reviewed the books subject to the complaint, per school policy. Reaves told the Citizen Times that "Doing It! Let's Talk About Sex," "Nineteen Minutes" and "Wicked: Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" were removed.

The Enka district MTAC team received a request to review four books that remained at Enka High: “Tricks,” “Perfect," “Sold” and “Water for Elephants." This committee moved to remove “Tricks,” pending board review, but chose to keep the remaining three titles.

“The book narrates teenagers’ various experiences with sex and sex trafficking. While the committee appreciates that sex trafficking is a relevant and timely issue, it felt that the book was not well-balanced in its portrayal of the topic,” the memo said about “Tricks.”

“The committee’s opinion is that the book normalizes, if not glorifies, unhealthy sexual behavior among teens. The overall tone of the book was extremely dark and disturbing, without a balanced emotional perspective. The book also includes an excessive amount of explicit content, leading us to question its appropriateness for high school readers, especially without guidance.”

The memo included passages from each of the books. Many of the passages that the Citizen Times reviewed included sexual content. At the end of the section for each respective book, there was a profanity tally. It is unclear what entity marked the passages or created the tally from the memo.

“’Tricks’ is simply filth in poetic form,” Enka High parent Kim Poteat told the school board during public comment. She was one of the four parents to stage the censorship effort. “What we put into our children’s minds matters. I hope and pray you will see our children deserve better materials than ‘Tricks’ in their school libraries.”

While the Board of Education was initially tasked with approving the ban for the Enka District, members of the board motioned so this book removal applies for all Buncombe schools.

School board member Amy Churchill noted her reservations about removing the book from the library.

“It’s a slippery slope to start banning books, especially when its being used for cultural wars and talking points, political moves, and being surfed from the internet what books to be against without reading said books,” she said. “I have a really hard time when we start talking away basically freedoms.

According to Pen America, there were 3,362 instances of book bans in the U.S. during the 2022-2023 school year, a 33% increase from the prior year.

A spokesperson for Asheville City Schools previously told the Citizen Times that the district does not have a banned book list.

‘Stranger Things’ actor’s Winnetka book signing canceled due to safety concerns over his support of Israel

The book stall in winnetka said it canceled highland park native brett gelman’s march 20 book signing because they didn’t think they “could guarantee the comfort and security” of attendees. the actor and comedian believes his appearance could have drawn protests due to his support for israel. “it was heartbreaking. infuriating,” he told sneed..

He’s a seasoned actor and comedian.

Then he wrote a book.

But what happened next wasn’t funny.

Highland Park native Brett Gelman, 47, has built a successful career acting and making people laugh.

After inking a lot of yay-hoo in the 2010 hit BBC TV comedy “Fleabag,” Gelman recently signed onto his fifth season in the smash Netflix supernatural-horror series “Stranger Things.” He plays a conspiracy theorist and former journalist named Murray Bauman.

And now, Gelman, who is Jewish, has authored a book of short stories about five characters. It’s titled The Terrifying Realm of the Possible: Nearly True Stories .

Gelman described it to Sneed as “darkly comedic, a way to purge my anxiety and self-hatred, a book which is quite Jewish in a very Jewish way — but NOT POLITICAL in any way — and darkly absurd. One of the characters is dead, a member of the afterlife.”

It may sound a lot like Gelman’s crazy, comedic career, but that’s when “strange” things really began to happen.

“Like when my publisher [HarperCollins/Dey Street] informed me recently that two bookstores had canceled my book appearances next month,” said Gelman.

One was The Book Stall in Winnetka, the other The Book Passage in San Francisco.

“It was heartbreaking. Infuriating,” Gelman said, noting the Winnetka bookstore is near his Highland Park hometown.

“They pulled out … apparently didn’t feel safe promoting the book,” said Gelman, noting his informed belief was that the cancellation was over “possible safety threats due to public protest intimidation.”

Book Stall owner Stephanie Hochschild tells Sneed: "As a small, independent bookstore, our first responsibility is customer and employee safety. The Brett Gelman book event would prove to be more controversial than we could as a small business have handled.

"We have supported Jewish authors — and authors from many walks of life — during our proud 75-year history," Hochschild said. "Starting on March 19 when the book is published, we are featuring his book. Antisemitism or hate of any kind has no place at the Book Stall."

A spokesman for the store — which, for the record, is also Sneed’s favorite book haunt — added that they withdrew "not in an attempt to suppress his debut book of humorous short stories, but due to security concerns. We did not feel our small bookshop could guarantee the comfort and security of the staff, the community or the author due to issues unrelated to the book."

Gelman believes his or any “support of Israel” has also resulted in “antisemitism and anti-Israel threats,” specifically noting his signature along with 200 others, including actors David Schwimmer of “Friends” fame and actress Debra Messing of “Will & Grace,” asking the Motion Picture Academy to stop perpetuating antisemitism.

“I was really looking forward to seeing my old friends and what’s left of my North Shore relatives,” Gelman told Sneed. “It was going to be a reunion of sorts. A special event.’

Gelman says the two bookstore cancellations were part of a four-city tour for his book.

“The other appearances in New York and West Hollywood in mid-March are still on the books,” he said last week.

But the two cancellations still bother him.

“It’s a mistake to think because we advocate for our own people, that we advocate harm to the other,” he said. “I believe in the solidarity of the Jewish people, but I am not anti-Palestinian. Or anti-Islam. I am anti-Hamas terrorists, but I also think [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu is problematic and not who the Israeli people want as their leader.

“This whole thing is a nightmare,” he added.

“But the Jewish community has banded together in the face of antisemitism becoming normalized.”

The crisis of the unhoused …

Father Michael Pfleger might have been wholly ghosted by two Democratic National Committee honchos during the protest fighting rampant homelessness that the activist priest led outside a Chicago Union League luncheon last Thursday.

But Sneed hears a major meeting is in the works. Pfleger, who is pitching for a federally funded commitment to provide housing for the unhoused before the DNC meets here in August, has been contacted via a Biden hotline about a meeting with a U.S. Housing and Urban Development rep next week.

This 12" x 15" hardcover book is a touching keepsake and meaningful anniversary gift for a variety of important milestones, from marriage to work anniversaries. Through the lens of The Times, see how the earth-shaking historic events that dominated the news of the day overlap with your anniversaries.

Just select the date of the occasion you’re commemorating, and this book will contain the front page from that day every year up until their most recent anniversary. If the day you pick is January 13, 1947, for example, this book would include that front page and every January 13 front page thereafter, through today.

As the recipient flips through the book, it will take them back in time to the most important headlines, articles and photos of the day from the perspective of The Times.

This Times exclusive coffee table book is available with a leatherette cover with foil-stamped embossing or with a luxurious linen cover. Both leatherette and linen versions come in an assortment of colors. 

Each book contains approximately 80 reprinted pages and comes with a 2.5" x 7.5" magnifier and a certificate of authenticity.

Available for the years 1910 to 2011. Books for more recent anniversaries would contain fewer front pages, but we automatically insert at the end famous front pages of world-changing events to make each book substantial with around 80 pages.

If ordering for this year's anniversary, be sure to order the day of the anniversary or later to include this year's page. Due to the nature of this product, dates for February 29 are not available. For anniversaries that fall on a leap year, we recommend our Special Day book as an alternative.

Pages are smaller than the dimensions of a newspaper, so the type is reduced slightly to fit this book’s 12” x 15” format. Pages after 1998 are in full color. Most pre-1998 pages are reproduced from microfilm, an archiving process that picked up imperfections on printed pages and diminished the quality of photos.

Because this personalized item is custom-made for you, all sales are final and this product cannot be returned, refunded or exchanged. Produced in Vermont.

The Joy of Kooky

My long and guilty love affair with an astrology book.

new york times book of birthday

By Steven Kurutz

In the early 1990s, Joost Elffers , a successful Dutch book packager, met an American expatriate living in Amsterdam named Gary Goldschneider.

Mr. Goldschneider was a brilliant but scattered polymath who completed his studies at Yale medical school but never practiced medicine and later became a concert pianist. He once played all 32 of Beethoven’s sonatas in one sitting for a crowd at a Philadelphia shopping mall, telling a reporter he was “spiritually guided” to give the concert.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, he was also into astrology.

For years, Mr. Goldschneider had asked people he met for their sun sign and date of birth, assembling a database of personality traits he supposed were natally based. Mr. Elffers, now 72, turned his ideas into a book, “ The Secret Language of Birthdays .”

Until then, most astrology books, like “Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs ,” told you about yourself only in the broad strokes of the 12 zodiac signs: Sagittarians are purportedly free spirits, Scorpios are passionate, and so on.

But now, each day of the year was branded with highly specific information about character traits. “The Secret Language of Birthdays” tapped into something even older than the practice of astrology: human vanity (and suggestibility).

“It’s the book for the ultimate narcissist,” said Megan Newman, the vice president and publisher of Avery, the imprint of Penguin Random House that publishes the book. “You can look up yourself, the ex-boyfriend you’re still stalking on Facebook, your mother-in-law.”

This year is the 25th anniversary of the birthday book, as it’s referred to by fans, though its publisher isn’t printing a special edition. Aron Goldschneider, Gary Goldschneider’s son and the book’s editor, was unaware of the occasion until reminded recently. And of course anniversaries don’t mean much anyway , right?

Still, like the Bible, the birthday book is always there, selling 1.5 million copies and counting, according to the publisher, with little promotion (it remains a No. 1 best seller in the Numerology category on Amazon ), living for years on home library shelves and popping up randomly in the culture.

In a 2001 New Yorker profile of Jim Carrey, it was revealed that the actor and spiritual seeker (born Jan. 17, “The Day of the Heavyweight”) brought the birthday book to film sets to entertain the cast and crew.

More recently, Alexa Chung , the British TV host, model and fashion designer (Nov. 5, “The Day of Actuality”), gushed to a writer from Harper’s Bazaar that the 365 detailed personality profiles are “so spot on, it’s insane.”

Ms. Newman said, “We’re still selling tens of thousands of copies a year,” and she expects the book to have “a renaissance,” because of the interest among millennials in astrology , the secret lives of plants and other New Age subjects.

Stevie Anderson, 30, a host of the astrology podcast “ What’s Your Sign ?,” said the birthday book was her first introduction to astrology as a child back in the late 1990s.

“My mom, who is the most Virgo person on the planet, always had the birthday book out,” she said. “It was a talking point. Any guest who came over, she would open up the book and talk about their day.”

Ms. Anderson remembers her entry (May 2, “The Day of Human Observation”) as being “very on the nose about how I felt about myself: You’re fun and productive, but also a dictator, basically.” As a teenager, she would read aloud from the book during sleepovers with her girlfriends to better understand their personalities.

I have similarly used the birthday book as an interpersonal reference guide ever since a college buddy (and fellow Libra) gave me a copy 20 years ago. Though otherwise a fact-based person, I have a soft spot for the pseudoscience of astrology.

And over the years, I have looked up friends, relatives, romantic partners, my wife and son, as though gleaning some truth about thei r deepest traits.

Certain sentences from my own entry (Sept. 29, “The Day of the Charged Reactor”) rattle around my head. Reading that Sept. 29 people “seem to have difficulty getting it together” is one reason I spent my 20s laser focused on my career.

The parting meditation for my day reads, “What do you see when you live at the center of the cyclone?” — an ominous phrase I’ve been trying to parse for two decades.

If the birthday book is entertainment, not provable fact, its form nevertheless lends it a degree of authority. At 832 pages, it has the heft of an encyclopedia, and it’s designed like a reference book, down to the formal serif typeface.

Each day of the year gets a two-page spread chock-full of information, including 20 notable people born on that day, the position of the sun’s transit in the sky, the sign and corresponding element (fire, earth, air and water).

The design was Mr. Elffers’s masterstroke. “If you have a book of fake news, you have to go for a very conservative typography,” he said. “So I imitated the layout of the American Heritage Dictionary . Because that is the truth.”

Mr. Elffers does not believe in astrology. He said his rational Dutch upbringing prevents such magical thinking. When I told him over lunch near his home in Greenwich Village how I had used his book to gain insight into loved ones, he responded bluntly.

“For me, I find that horrifying,” he said. “And if you stress another time how much you love the book, I will defriend you and never see you again.”

And yet, when Mr. Elffers was asked about his own birthday (Nov. 21, “The Day of Elegance”), he started talking like it was the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. “I’m a cusp. And Gary has a special place for the cusp, because that’s the mixture of two and therefore there’s a lot of turmoil and creativity.”

“The trouble with a Scorpio is they have no interest in any other sign,” he went on about himself. “They think they’re the only one.”

The real magic of the birthday book is in the writing. Horoscopes aren’t a form known for their literary quality, but each of Mr. Goldschneider’s personality profiles is incisive, direct and specific, yet with the necessary mystery.

Until recently, Mr. Goldschneider lived in a Dutch nursing home in increasingly poor health; he died earlier this month at age 80. It was Aron Goldschneider who revised his father’s writing until it was “crystal clear,” Mr. Elffers said.

Aron, 56, said the basic content came from his father, but he added complexity to the character sketches and balanced those that were too unflattering, filling out the positive side.

“My father would write a page one day because of his experience with three people — people he didn’t even like — that were born on a certain day,” said Aron, a lawyer who lives in Philadelphia. “Joost would say, ‘Gary, this is not a blessing.’”

Like Mr. Elffers, Aron does not believe in astrology. But he has heard from countless people over the years, he said, who have marveled at the way the birthday book gets to the heart of their favorite subject: themselves .

And he admitted that his own entry (Oct. 31, “The Day of Attentiveness”) rings true. Perhaps because his father wrote it.
