Canadian author Margaret Atwood has released a new short story that takes aim at a book ban implemented in the Canadian province of Alberta.
The satirical story's release comes after the esteemed author's most famous novel, The Handmaid's Tale, was removed from some book shelves because of the province's new rules.
In July, Alberta's education ministry ordered school libraries to remove "materials containing explicit sexual content" by 1 October.
Ms Atwood said she wrote a short story for 17-year olds about two "very, very good children" named John and Mary, since her award-winning book was no longer suitable for some Alberta schools.
"They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits," she said in the beginning of her story.
