| Summary: | A critical introduction to the life and work of the prolific writer of young adult and children's books. This biography of the noted writer of books for children & young adults is divided into chapters based on a role he has assumed as a writer, including storyteller, stylist, magician, & historian, & explores his many beliefs about the significance of literature. The authors delineate ten categories in which to examine Avi's fiction: Avi as storyteller, magician, historian, stylist, risk-taker, truthteller, antiauthoritarian, family auteur, writer, and subject. Their discussions trace recurrent patterns, themes, ideologies, and images, presenting tools for the critical interpretation of works by a writer for whom intertextuality is a hallmark. |
