Episode 11: Survival and Structure: What The Hunger Games Teaches Us About Writing Modern Bestsellers

from Stories That Change Us · host Kat Lewis, Laurel Thomas, Micah Leydorf, Melissa Grace

Few YA novels manage to weave modern issues so flawlessly into a story that equally engages children and adults, but The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins stands out for that very reason. Collins masterful use of subtle subtext, world building that compels plot and tension, and a cast of lovable yet deeply troubled characters allows this Dystopian tale of youth gladiatorial games to transcend from grisly and irrelevant to contemplative and epic.
