Chatting with S. E. Hinton

This weekend's Trib had a nice feature on author S. E. Hinton, conducted by Lizzy Skurnick of Jezebel's Friday column on children's and YA books of yesteryear, Fine Lines:

The Brotherhood of S. E. Hinton

And there was a fun interview to go with it:

An Interview with S. E. Hinton

I didn't read The Outsiders until I was an adult, at which point I fell in love with it. It still boggles the mind that she wrote it as a teenager; I'm hugely jealous. Most of us still can't write that well as adults.
