소셜 링크:

Gary Paulsen was an American author best known for young adult fiction about survival, wilderness, and self-reliance. Drawing on experiences with dogsledding and the outdoors, he wrote more than 200 books, including Hatchet, Dogsong, and The Winter Room, the last three earning Newbery Honor recognition and shaping generations of readers.

전기 및 작가의 여정

Gary Paulsen was born on May 17, 1939, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and his early life was marked by instability, poverty, and a difficult family environment. Much of his childhood was spent moving between adults, places, and expectations, and he learned independence early. Books became one of the few steady forces in that unsettled world. As a teenager he worked a series of manual jobs and later served in the Army, experiences that deepened his sense of endurance and sharpened his eye for plainspoken detail. A decisive turning point came when he began writing seriously, drawing not from literary fashion but from hardship, labor, isolation, and the natural world he knew firsthand.
