| contents | The Ornery American: Orson Scott Card Oatman, Eric Adolescent Literature Science Fiction Authors Writing (Composition) Social Problems Opinions Political Attitudes Awards This article profiles Orson Scott Card, the winner of this year's Margaret A. Edwards Award for his outstanding contributions to teen literature, specifically for Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow (1999, both Tor), a companion tale. Card, the magician behind both of these best sellers, is one of the nation's most prolific--and contentious--authors. Card's reputation for controversy does not stem from his fiction. It comes from his essays and columns, most of which appear in an independent newspaper in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he lives with his wife, Kristine, and their 12-year-old daughter, Zina. Card has so much to say that two of his six Web sites--The Ornery American (Ornery.org) and Hatrack River (hatrack.com)--are devoted in part to voicing his opinions. |
