Bookshop Interview with Author Chris Crutcher (Episode #162)

9/7/2022

0 Comments

 
In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, my guest is award-winning author Chris Crutcher. Chris is the author of more than a dozen novels and two short story collections. His work features teen protagonists coping with serious problems, including poverty, abuse, and prejudice. Chris’s books have been informed by his work as a teacher, director of an alternative school, child and family therapist and child protection advocate, and his stories have been inspired by the heroes he has met along the way. All of his books and stories have been challenged or banned at some point during his nearly forty-year career. As a result, Chris has earned two lifetime achievement intellectual freedom awards -- one from The National Council of Teachers of English and the other from the National Coalition Against Censorship. In this episode, I’ll chat with Chris about his writing journey, how his work with at risk youth has changed his idea of courage, and why his books have meant so much to his readers.

This interview with Chris Crutcher follows a conversation I had with him as part of the Jacksonville Public Library's Teen Lit Chat series. You can view that conversation on Youtube by clicking HERE. Enjoy!
