Laur Flom, a trans 'book artist,' has spent the last year using their bookbinding skills to remove J.K. Rowling's name from the Harry Potter books she wrote.
. Instead of ignoring the books, readers should analyze them critically to uncover and call out those kinds of prejudices, Flom said.Still, Flom decided to find a middle way that would allow them to keep the baby while throwing out at least some of the bathwater. Initially inspired by spite and boredom, they got the idea while procrastinating over writing their college thesis. So Flom started the project to create something for their own library and welcomed the internet to follow along.
But at its core, Flom’s project has always been one that’s more or less personal. They wanted a full set of the books on their bookshelf but didn’t want Rowling’s name on them. Now they have that. Since the project began, others said they wanted that, too, and Flom said they’re glad to have helped.
