SUZANNE COLLINS
By Lizzie Skurnick:
Remaking society can take decades. But global rebellion is short work
for sharpshooter Katniss Everdeen, who single-handedly foments a
revolution in Suzanne Collins' blockbuster young-adult Hunger Games
trilogy. America likes its champions reluctant, and Collins specializes
in that surly breed: her heroine trounces dystopic despots while
chewing her cheek in self-doubt.
Triumphant but not arrogant, prized but not vain, Katniss takes two
whole books and assurances from two suitors to accept that the crowds
love her.
You could get tired of bracing yourself for a hero's next unwitting
triumph if Collins, 47, didn't wear the mantle of her own success so
lightly. Like Katniss, she's a natural, lighting from thriller to bodice
ripper to fantasy in the space of a few chapters, churning out a
powerful, innovative oeuvre without making a big deal about it. Her
literary dexterity lends itself to marketing speak — call it Children
of Men meets The Clan of the Cave Bear — but Collins is not
pastiche. She's a literary fusioneer, that rare writer who is all things
to all readers. Today's would-be revolutionaries should be so lucky.
Pretty awesome right? Congrats Suzanne!
Thanks for reading!
May the odds EVER be in your favor!
