Autorenporträt

Paul Zindel (1936-2003) was born and raised on Staten Island in New York. After teaching high school science for several years, he decided to pursue a career as a playwright. His first play, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Shortly thereafter, he wrote his first novel for young adults, The Pigman, which has gone on to sell millions of copies. Mr. Zindel wrote more than fifty books over the course of his life, including the popular My Darling, My Hamburger; The Pigman’s Legacy, a sequel to The Pigman; and the autobiographical The Pigman and Me.

Rezensionen

"Headline news...remarkable...Zindel has written a story that will not be denied." - Publishers Weekly

"An intensely moving story of believably alienated young people." - School Library Journal

"This is a shocker of a book. Startling and truthful and vivid." - Young Readers' Review
