Milo Yiannopolous, the Breitbart writer who was deemed too offensive for Twitter, has been granted a book deal by Simon and Schuster.

Last week, it was revealed that the publisher has given Yiannopolous an advance of $250 000. Yiannopolous was kicked off of Twitter in the summer, after a racist harassment campaign against Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones.

Many in the literary world spoke out against the book deal. Among them, Adam Morgan. He's the founder and editor-in-chief of the Chicago Review of Books. The publication has said they will not review a single Simon and Schuster book this year, in protest. (more)
