A Posthumous Manifesto from Charlie Hebdo's Editor
The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 7, 2016
The Paris offices of the satirical paper Charlie Hebdo were attacked a year ago. Gunmen killed 11 people, including the editor in chief known as Charb. But he left behind a manifesto and now, a year later, it’s been published.
It’s called Open Letter: On Blasphemy, Islamophobia, and the True Enemies of Free Expression (Little, Brown and Company, 2016).
Adam Gopnik, staff writer for The New Yorker who wrote the introduction to Charlie Hebdo editor Stephane Charbonnier's manifesto, says his writing is rational and inspiring in tone, saying "it's true, it's funny, and it's beautiful."
