전기 및 작가의 여정
Gordon Korman was born on October 23, 1963, in Montreal and grew up mostly in the Toronto area, where an unusually open-ended seventh-grade English assignment changed the course of his life. At twelve, he wrote a comic boarding-school manuscript that became This Can’t Be Happening at Macdonald Hall; after sending it to Scholastic with his class book orders, he saw it published when he was a high-school freshman. What began as a fluke quickly became a vocation. Korman later earned a BFA from New York University, majoring in dramatic writing with a minor in film and television, training that matched the pace, dialogue, and scene-building that would become central to his fiction.
