Neal Shusterman - Bestselling Author Presented by Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures

Presented by Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures at Carnegie Lecture Hall

Neal Shusterman is the bestselling author of more than thirty award-winning books, including Challenger Deep, which won the National Book Award for its astonishing artistic achievement created in collaboration with his son Brendan. In high school student Caden Bosch, Neal Shusterman has created a young hero who finds a way not just to navigate his own schizophrenic breakdown but to ease the struggles of his fellow patients. Poetic, compassionate, and thrillingly inventive, Challenger Deep affirms the power of narrative to describe the indescribable and enlighten us all.

His new book Dry explores a world without water when the California drought escalates to catastrophic proportions and one teen is forced to make life and death decisions. The book to be released in October has already been optioned by Paramount Pictures for a movie adaptation penned by the authors after a multi-studio bidding war.
