Graham Salisbury, winner of the Scott O'Dell and Boston Globe-Horn
Book Awards, grew up in Hawaii during the 1950's, and the lion's
share of his fiction is set there. He writes about boys of all
races trying to carve an identity for themselves and struggling to
make moral decisions as they grow into manhood. The first section
of this book chronicles the labyrinthine path of Salisbury's life
and career: from barefoot island boy to college dropout, from
bubblegum pop musician to schoolteacher, and from real estate
manager to young adult author. The book then offers a critical
context for Salisbury's work, discussing his novels in terms of
plot and style: analyzing literary themes and examining critical
responses to his work. Salisbury's use of archetypes and the coming
of age stories that dominate his work are explored in depth. Fans
are also treated to a peek at some of Salisbury's future projects.
Librarians, teachers, and teen readers will find this critical
biography to be a useful resource for the library, classroom, and
reference bookshelf.
