Stéphane Charbonnier’s book on freedom of expression will be released a year after he was killed in the attack on the satirical magazine’s offices in Paris
The manifesto, entitled Open Letter: On Blasphemy, Islamophobia and the True Enemies of Free Expression, was written by Stéphane Charbonnier, the editor-in-chief of the popular satirical magazine, who was killed in January after two gunmen stormed the office and killed 12 people.
It was later discovered that Charbonnier, known as Charb, had finished the book only two days before he was killed. The book covers issues related to the nature of the attacks on Charlie Hebdo, including Islamophobia and the courage satirists require.
“In Open Letter, Charb’s words are powerful and provocative,” Little, Brown and Company publisher Reagan Arthur said in a statement.
“I’m honored to be able to publish this important and lasting work on free expression.”
