Robert Cormier Robert Cormier was born and has always lived in Leominster, Massachusetts. He grew up there, went to school there, courted and married there, and raised four children in the house where he and his wife, Connie, still live. "I never intend to live anywhere else,"he says." There are lots of untold stories right here on Main Street." Cormier, who was a newspaper reporter and columnist for 30 years is inspired by news events and, in some cases, by circumstances in his own life for the basis of his plots. And, he has an outstanding ability to create stories that capture human interest. "I take real people and put them in extraordinary situations," he said in an interview in SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL. "I'm very much interested in intimidation. And the way people manipulate other people. And the obvious abuse of authority." Robert Cormier began writing, he says,"in the seventh grade... I can't remember a time when I wasn't trying to get something down on paper." And it has been said of him that he was in love with his typewriter. He has won many prizes for his journalism and his novels for young adults. Included in his awards is the Margaret A. Edwards Award of the Young Adult Services Division of the American Library Association. This award is presented in recognition of those authors who provide young adults with a window through which they can view the world, and which will help them to grow and understand themselves and their role in society."I am delighted to be the recipient of this award,"he says," because it is such a clear reflection of what I've always hoped my novels could do show adolescents the bigness of what's out there and that happy endings are not our birthright. You have to do something to make them happen."

Robert Cormier Op deze pagina: Biografie Profiel Boeken Bekroningen ... Meer informatie Geboortedatum: 17 januari 1925 Geboorteplaats: Leominster, Massachusetts, Verenigde Staten Overleden: 2 november 2000 Biografie: Robert Cormier ging naar een katholieke basisschool in zijn geboorteplaats. Toen hij 12 was vertelde een non hem dat hij een schrijver was. Op zijn 19e verkocht hij zijn eerste verhaal en sindsdien is hij eigenlijk nooit opgehouden met schrijven. Na de oorlog werkte hij 30 jaar als radioreporter, journalist, columnist en redacteur bij verschillende kranten. In de jaren '60 schreef hij drie boeken voor volwassenen, in 1974 verscheen zijn eerste boek voor jongeren. Robert Cormier is getrouwd, heeft drie dochters en een zoon en woont al zijn hele leven in Leominster, hoewel hij graag reist. Profiel: De boeken van Robert Cormier gaan over jongeren, al schrijft hij ze niet speciaal voor jongeren. Zijn boeken zijn realistisch en spelen zich af op ongebruikelijke plaatsen: een gekaapte schoolbus, een school die door en door corrupt is, een ziekenhuis voor experimentele geneeskunde. Zijn hoofdpersonen moeten vaak in hun eentje opboksen tegen tegenstanders die veel machtiger zijn dan henzelf en daar gaan ze dan ook aan ten onder. Zijn boeken lopen dan ook vaak niet goed af. Kenmerkend is dat Cormier niet alleen de 'goeden' van binnenuit beschrijft, maar ook de 'slechten'. Zijn stijl is reportage-achtig, met veel dialogen. Boeken: Alle maskers af (Lemniscaat) Chocolade oorlog (Sjaloom / 3e druk 1993)

Author Corner Home MAE Award Home Reading Corner Home Blume ... Zindel Robert Cormier His Books Other Information Other Web Sites I n 1991, Robert Cormier received the MAE Award. The committee cited his novels: The Chocolate War I Am the Cheese , and After the First Death He was born in Leominster, Massachusetts. Cormier says, “I was a skinny kid living in a ghetto-type neighborhood wanting the world to know that I existed.” When his own children were small, he worked as a newspaper reporter and wrote at night. He writes a story over and over until he is satisfied. “With each novel, I fill a shopping bag with material that has been rewritten.” He wants to make the story as true as possible, yet censors often dislike his books, and this surprises him. The teen years, explains Cormier, are not a “peppermint world of fun and frolic.” He tries to show the “strength of young adults—their resilience, their ability to absorb the blows teenage life delivers.” One time a woman who hated his books met Cormier and instead of finding a monster, she saw who he really was—an ordinary guy trying to be “one of the good guys, sometimes failing, but trying anyway.”

ACHUKA News Chat Teen/YA ... Specials Robert Cormier London, July 2000 ACHUKA interviewed Robert Cormier at his London hotel on the afternoon of 11th July, prior to his evening discussion with Melvin Burgess. Like the transcript of that event , this extended interview is being uploaded in installments. Join the Mail List via the News page, and you'll be informed when the next part of the interview is online. Cormier's reputation as a fine writer of Young Adult fiction is widely acknowledged. Beyond that, he deserves recognition as a major writer of the past 25 years, period. His omission from such books as The Oxford Companion to American Literature is heinous. You've lived the whole of your life in Leominster, and have been in the same house for over 40 years. Why? I think I like that sense of security and that sense ofit sounds like a clichebut roots. When I was young growing up, I thought that to be a writer I had to travel the world, and have all these experiences. Then at some point... I think it goes back to the adventures of Tom Sawyer... that was the first book I really ever owned that wasn't a text book... my godmother gave it to me when I was 11 or 12. Tom Sawyer with his adventures, painting the fence... I sorta realised that there was drama right there in my own neighbourhood. I've thought about that since. At the time it occurred it wasn't a lightning bolt, but I've always been conscious of not having to travel that far. The legends I heard when I was a child, the strikes at the shops were very dramatic to me. Then I'd read

15. Beyond The Shadows Of Robert Cormier A brief profile, followed by excerpts from an interview of the author. http://www.writes.org/conversations/conver_4.html

Beyond the Shadows of Robert Cormier By Laura B. Hoffman Robert Cormier is a former journalist and the author of several bestselling novels for young adults. His books repeatedly appear on the Best Books for Young Adults lists of the American Library Association, The New York Times and School Library Journal. He has won the Margaret A. Edwards Award for The Chocolate War, I Am the Cheese and After the First Death. His most recent novel In the Middle of the Night was nominated for an Edgar award. Q: Why do you choose to write young adult novels? A: I don't think of them that way. When I write I write to the fullest of my ability and I usually have an interesting and intelligent person in mind with whom I can be subtle. That person often turns out to be 14 years old, but that reader can also be 45. Q: Do you receive a lot of feedback from your readers? A: Yes, I get lots of calls. My telephone number is Amy Hertz's number in I am the Cheese. Word spreads around so kids call. Just today, I received a call from a class in Colorado Springs that was studying the book. Often I get calls from individual kids who just want to keep in touch. They are very inventive. They ask for Amy and create all kinds of scenarios saying Adam is calling. The letters and phone calls I get confirm what I am doing, and since writing is so solitary, it is good to get that confirmation. Q: Your books are often considered dark. Why do you choose to write about the dark side of life?
