Pulp II: A Visual Bibliography of the Banished Book

Winner Singapore Literature Prize (creative nonfiction) 2020



“Probing, exhaustive in its global scope, intellectually ambitious and deeply felt, the second volume in artist-writer Shubigi Rao’s decade-long documentary project on reading, libraries and censorship gets to the heart of what ‘creative non-fiction’ can be.
As a book on the value of books, rendered through incisive prose and visual imagery,
it provokes the whole question of what a book is, in terms of form.
In terms of content, it is replete with insight and wisdom, constantly shifting our expectations of the subject matter
​and in the process, able to stand with the best in world literature."
-Judges from Singapore Literature Prize, 2020
