A.S. King on nUrdfighters and Paul Zindel
“When I was reading Zindel the first time, I remember writing down that when I grew up, I wanted to write books that would help adults understand teens better and help teens understand adults better. And I went home and I told my folks, and they suggested I could be a newspaper writer. As much as I respect newspaper writers, that wasn’t really what I had in mind. But then, only a few years ago, and it took me a few books to realize it: because I include adult characters, I’m doing that. And it’s wonderful. It’s kind of cool.[…]But this stuff always existed. The darkness, or as I call it, life, has always existed. I just don’t think it’s changed that much.”
