Overview
Lulu in Marrakech By Diane Johnson PENGUIN Pounds 7.99 (307pp) (free p&p) from the Independent Bookshop: 0870 079 8897 VINTAGE 7.99 (278pp) (free p&p) from the Independent Bookshop: 0870 079 8897 Expert, concise but far from bland, Oxfords Very Short Introductions series must rank by now as a thinking readers Wikipedia. For its 200th title, philosopher [Nigel Warburton] spans two millennia and more of knotty quarrels over freedom of expression and its moral or legal limits from Socrates death by hemlock to Salman Rushdie, David Irving and Aayan Hirsi Ali. As he writes, almost every defender of free speech wishes to draw the line somewhere. With admirable clarity, this VSI shows us how wobbly, hazy but unavoidable that line turns out to be. Warburton notes how internet rage and hate has written another chapter in this always-evolving story. If the art-and-porn section drags him into a quagmire (as it always does), he spares some good thoughts for the copyright wars that, in a digital age, can mean that the consumers liberty entails the creators penury.
