Anathema

She was honored by the ban, frankly. For the Pope, the leader of all the Catholics in all the world, to take the time to censor her book, that was a great distinction. Though other writers may have been offended, concerned for sales, or distraught by the condemnation of their religious chieftain, she was ecstatic.

Some had Putlitzers, some had Nobels. She had taboo.

She actually thought that might be better than anything else for sales.
