Gary Paulsen's young adult novels - including the Newbery Honor Books Dogsong, Hachet, and The Winter Room - often focus on a young person's transformation through conquering hardship and despair. More than simply an imaginer of survival stories for children, though, Paulsen has really lived the hard lives he describes. And he has written more than a hundred books about it. Gary Salvner writes, In his hard and sometimes chaotic life, Gary Paulsen has seen and lived with many individuals who have been broken in some way by life's struggles, and his writing reveals his great compassion for those so unfortunate. Exploring a hard-earned tenderness as the wellspring of Paulsen's writing, this text produces a compehensive, biocritical analysis of Paulsen's life and work.
