Avant Game: the ministry of reshelving 

Avant Game: the ministry of reshelving

A project by secret vast leftwing conspiracy bibliophile operatives to reshelve bookstores' copies of George Orwell's _1984_ from "Fiction" to "Current Affairs" or other more apropos bit of shelf real estate.

Perhaps Handmaid's Tale could be given a similar treatment?


Comments:
Despite the number of books I've reshelved over the years, I can't get too bent out of shape about this totally imaginative idea. It provides even the most voiceless, retiring, quiet person with an opportunity to actually *do something*. While it may not accomplish anything, initially, it is through little steps that movements begin.
