3 AUTHOR S usan Eloise Hinton was born in the 1950s in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a place that she describes as “a pleasant place to live if you don’t want to do anything.” She began The Outsiders at the age of fifteen, inspired by her frustration with the social divisions in her high school and the lack of realistic fiction for high school readers. The Outsiders, first published in 1967, tells the story of class conflict between the greasers, a group of low-class youths, and the Socs (short for Socials), a group of privileged rich kids who live on the wealthy West Side of town. The novel broke ground in the genre of Young Adult fiction, transcending established boundaries in its portrayal of violence, class conflict, and prejudice

Her novels changed the way people look at young adult literature. “I was fifteen when I began The Outsiders. There was no internet. There were no research sources besides the library. I made up some names I liked with no hidden agenda. But people are always reading things into The Outsiders that I never thought of. Not that that's a bad thing.”
