AUThoR of ThE MoNTh

suzanne COllinsThe Hunger Games Trilogy is a bestseller and the film adaptation of the same name is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Apparently, Suzanne Collins, the author of the novel and the screen-writer of the film, has a lot to talk about in the interview.

• You have said from the start that The Hunger Games story was intended as a trilogy. Did it actually end the way you planned it from the beginning?

Very much so. While I didn’t know every detail, of course, the arc of the story from gladiator game, to revolution, to war, to the eventual outcome remained constant throughout the writing process.

• We understand you worked on the initial screenplay for a film to be based on The Hunger Games. What is the biggest difference between writing a novel and writing a screenplay?

There were several significant differences. Time, for starters. When you’re adapting a novel into a two-hour movie you can’t take every-thing with you. The story has to be condensed to fit the new form. Then there’s the question of how best to take a book told in the first person and present tense and transform it into a satisfying dra-matic experience. In the novel, you never leave Katniss for a second and are privy to all of her thoughts so you need a way to dramatize her inner world and to make it possible for other characters to ex-ist outside of her company. Finally, there’s the challenge of how to present the violence while still maintaining a PG-13 rating so that your core audience can view it. A lot of things are acceptable on a page that wouldn’t be on a screen. But how certain moments are depicted will ultimately be in the director’s hands.

• You weave action, adventure, mythology, sci-fi, romance, and phi-losophy throughout The Hunger Games. What influenced the crea-tion of The Hunger Games?

A significant influence would have to be the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. The myth tells how in punishment for past deeds,

9w w w . a s i a b o o k s . c o m

Athens periodically had to send seven youths and seven maidens to Crete, where they were thrown in the Labyrinth and devoured by the monstrous Minotaur.

Even as a kid, I could appreciate how ruthless this was. Crete was sending a very clear message: “Mess with us and we’ll do something worse than kill you. We’ll kill your children.” And the thing is, it was allowed; the parents sat by powerless to stop it. Theseus, who was the son of the king, volunteered to go. I guess in her own way, Katniss is a futuristic Theseus. In keeping with the classical roots, I send my tributes into an updated version of the Roman gladiator games, which entails a ruthless govern-ment forcing people to fight to the death as popular entertainment. The world of Panem, particularly the Capitol, is loaded with Roman references. Panem itself comes from the expression “Panem et Circenses” which translates into “Bread and Circuses.” The audiences for both the Roman games and reality TV are almost characters in themselves. They can respond with great enthusiasm or play a role in your elimination. I was channel surfing between reality TV programming and actual war coverage when Katniss’s story came to me. One night I’m sitting there flipping around and on one channel there’s a group of young people competing for, I don’t know, money maybe? And on the next, there’s a group of young people fighting an actual war. And I was tired, and the lines began to blur in this very unset-tling way, and I thought of this story.

• The trilogy’s premise is very brutal, yet is handled so tastefully. Was this a difficult balance to achieve?

Yes, the death scenes are always hard to write. It’s difficult to put kids in violent situations—Gregor (the protagonist in The Underland Chronicles) is in a war, Katniss is in a gladiator game. Characters will die. It’s not fun to write, but I think if you can’t commit to really doing the idea, it’s probably better to work on another type of story. Given that, you have to remember who you’re trying to reach with the book. I try and think of how I would tell a particularly difficult event to my own children. Exactly what details they need to know to really understand it, and what would be gratuitous.

• The Hunger Games tackles issues like severe poverty, starvation, oppression, and the effects of war among others. What drew you to such serious subject matter?

That was probably my dad’s influence. He was career Air Force, a military specialist, a historian, and a doctor of political science. When I was a kid, he was gone for a year in Vietnam. It was very important to him that we understood about certain aspects of life. So, it wasn’t enough to visit a battlefield, we needed to know why the battle occurred, how it played out, and the consequences. Fortunately, he had a gift for presenting history as a fascinating story. He also seemed to have a good sense of exactly how much a child could handle, which is quite a bit.

• What do you hope readers will come away with when they read The Hunger Games?

Questions about how elements of the book might be relevant in their own lives. And, if they’re disturb-ing, what they might do about them.

• You are probably getting a lot of fan mail! What is the most surprising feedback you’ve received for The Hunger Games? (Or, what has surprised you the most about the feedback you’re getting for The Hunger Games.)

Probably how differently people view the book. Some are attracted to the dystopian world, others are there for action and adventure, still others for the romance. The readers are defining the book in very personal and exciting ways.

THE SENSE OF AN ENDINGBy JULIAN BARNESBt.3509780099570332

Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hun-gry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form togeth-er, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more in-telligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life. Now Tony is in middle age. He’s had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He’s certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up sur-prises, as a lawyer’s letter is about to prove.

THE EMPEROR OF ALL MALADIESBy SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEEBt.4509780007250929

The story of cancer is a story of human ingenu-ity, resilience and per-severance, but also of hubris, arrogance and misperception, all lever-aged against a disease that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out ′war against can-cer′. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories and deaths, told through the eyes of predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary. It is a story about the peo-ple who have soldiered through toxic, bruising, and draining regimes to survive and to increase the store of human knowl-edge.

THE TOMB OF ALEXANDERBy SEAN HEMINGWAYBt.6259780091943851

Alexander was one of the greatest leaders of all time. After he died, his tomb was the most re-nowned and respected shrine in the Roman Em-pire, the object of venera-tion by great emperors and leaders the world over. It stood at the heart of the grandest city on earth. And then it disap-peared. Centuries later, on a dig in Crete, curator and archaeologist Tom Carr is convinced that he’s discovered a vital clue. At his side is a beau-tiful young artist, Victoria Price. Together, they are prepared to risk every-thing to find the tomb, and solve one of the most enduring mysteries of our time.

THE TELL-TALE BRAIN: UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY OF HUMAN NATUREBy V. S. RAMACHANDRANBt.4509780099537595

Our brains are the most enchanting and complex thing in the known uni-verse - but what happens when they go wrong? Dr V. S. Ramachandran, ‘the Sherlock Holmes’ of brain science, has spent a life-time working with patients who suffer from bizarre brain conditions. In The Tell-Tale Brain, Ramach-andran tells their stories, and explores what they reveal about the greatest mystery of them all: how our minds work, and what makes each of us so uniquely human.
