Another might be 'Catch - 22' by Joseph Heller. It satirizes the military bureaucracy and the absurdities soldiers face, which was quite controversial at the time of its release.
One example could be 'Hatoful Boyfriend'. It's controversial because of its strange premise of dating pigeons. Some people find it off - putting, while others see it as a unique and creative take on the visual novel genre.
One example is 'The Satanic Verses' by Salman Rushdie. It sparked intense controversy due to its perceived blasphemy in some religious communities. Another is 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov.

Controversial military life novels can both enhance and distort public perception. On one hand, they can expose the real hardships and challenges soldiers face, like in 'The Thin Red Line' which shows the mental strain of combat. This can increase public understanding and empathy. On the other hand, novels that focus on negative aspects like military bureaucracy in 'Catch - 22' might give a one - sided view and make the military seem more dysfunctional than it actually is in general.
One example could be 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak. While not directly about a controversial book within the story, it's about a girl stealing books in Nazi Germany, and books were highly controversial and dangerous there. Another is 'Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury, which is about a society that burns books. These are fictional works that touch on the themes related to controversial books in different ways.
'In Cold Blood' is also considered controversial. It's based on a true crime story. Some find it controversial because it delves so deeply into the minds of the killers. Truman Capote's writing style, which is almost empathetic towards the murderers at times, while also showing the horror of their crimes, makes it a subject of debate among readers.
A controversial classic novel is 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley. It's controversial as it presents a dystopian future where people are genetically engineered and conditioned to fit into a rigid social hierarchy. This challenges our ideas of freedom, individuality, and what it means to be human. Also, 'Ulysses' by James Joyce was considered controversial at the time of its release for its complex narrative style and some sexual content.
A third example could be 'Ulysses' by James Joyce. It was controversial mainly because of its sexual content and its experimental style. Joyce used stream - of - consciousness writing, which was new and difficult for many readers at the time. Also, the sexual references were seen as inappropriate, but over time it has come to be regarded as a masterpiece of modernist literature.
In some controversial stories, a fact of life could be the existence of social inequality. For example, in stories about racial discrimination, the fact that certain groups face unfair treatment in various aspects like employment, education, and housing is a harsh reality. This inequality often leads to social unrest and calls for change.
One of the most controversial graphic novels is 'Watchmen' by Alan Moore. Its complex and often dark themes, along with its deconstruction of the superhero genre, sparked a lot of debate. Another is 'Maus' by Art Spiegelman. The use of animals to represent different ethnic groups in the context of the Holocaust was considered innovative but also controversial as it was a very different way of depicting such a tragic event. And 'Persepolis' by Marjane Satrapi is also controversial as it shows the author's personal experiences during the Iranian revolution and her life in a very frank and sometimes critical way of the regime.
