Lit just got real: Chicago Review of Books puts Milo's publisher in time out for one year

As Twitchy reported, progressives had a bit of a meltdown on hearing that publisher Simon & Schuster had signed Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos to a $250,000 book deal.

Not surprisingly, there was talk of a boycott immediately.

Yes! No one want to take away your books, but it’s high time for common sense book control.

Not soon after the announcement, the Chicago Review of Books noted that in response, it would not cover any book published by Simon & Schuster in 2017.

In response to this disgusting validation of hate, we will not cover a single @simonschuster book in 2017. https://t.co/NAJhTgdeyX

The Chicago Review of Books describes itself in its Twitter bio as “dedicated to diverse voices in literature” — within reasonable limits, of course. Consider the Chicago Review your safe space from any disgusting validation of hate that Simon & Schuster might try to slip through the cracks next year.

I find your lack of "dedication to diverse voices in literature" disturbing. #MissionStatementFail @simonschuster

I have no specific love for the dude, but "diverse voices in literature" doesn't mean what you think it means.

Poor snowflakes. I guess some "diverse voices" just aren't the right kind of diverse.

thank you for deciding what people can and can't handle for them. Makes not thinking way easier.

@Cernovich @simonschuster Well who cares what you think? I'm buying Milo's book for sure now.
