Interviews with Meg Rosoff
Coming of Age Books, recommended by Meg Rosoff
Finding out where you belong in the world is not a search that starts and ends between 18 and 21, but is about optimism, the passion of youth, and the expectation that things will go well, suggests award-winning novelist Meg Rosoff. She recommends her favourite coming of age books, from Shakespeare’s Hal, preparing to succeed his father as king, to Cormac McCarthy’s John Grady, who ends up in jail.
