- catalog abstract "In this first book-length introduction to the writer and her work, Suzanne Elizabeth Reid presents a finely crafted analysis of the complexities of plot, character, language, and theme distinguishing Voigt's fiction. Writing in an accessible style, Reid commences with an intriguing biographical sketch that draws on a rare, unpublished interview. Subsequent chapters then examine each of the published works, grouped by the central motifs Reid identifies in Voigt's fiction: defining the self; reaching out, holding on, and letting go; ways of knowing; heroic ventures; and daring to live authentically. A closing chapter, "Voigt's Essential Ideas," synthesizes and crystallizes the elements that make this writer one of the most gifted voices in young adult literature today. Presenting Cynthia Voigt provides an engaging resource for middle and high school students and their teachers; librarians; and college and graduate students of young adult literature. Complementing the volume are a chronology, notes and references, selected bibliography, and index, as well as photographs.".
