The Fault in Our Stars
John Green
2012
Introduction
The Fault in Our Stars, John Green's fourth novel, was first released in 2012. The story of two teen cancer patients who meet at a support group and fall in love quickly became Green's most popular work to date and was named Time magazine's top pick for Fiction Book of the Year for 2012. Through the humor and honesty of Hazel Grace Lancaster, the protagonist and first-person narrator, the novel explores themes of life after death, grief, and the risks and rewards of loving deeply. Hazel's character was based on Esther Grace Earl, a young woman Green met at a Harry Potter conference in 2009. In the novel, Hazel suffers from the same cancer Esther did in real life. Sadly, Esther passed away in 2010, at the age of sixteen. Every year on her birthday (August 3), Green and his brother post a video in her honor on Vlogbrothers, their YouTube Channel.
The story of Hazel and Augustus features some disturbing topics, including terminal illness and death. There is also profanity, and the two main characters have their first sexual experience together.
Author Biography
Green was born on August 24, 1977, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Mike and Sidney Green. Shortly after his birth, the family moved several times, landing finally in Orlando, Florida, where Green spent much of his childhood. Later in his youth he attended the Indian Springs boarding school in Birmingham, Alabama. He used his boarding-school experiences to shape his first novel, Looking for Alaska (2005). After graduating from Indian Springs, Green attended Kenyon College, a small private liberal arts college in Gambler, Ohio. He majored in both English and religious studies; after college, he worked briefly as a chaplain at a children's hospital. This experience gave him insights into teens and their concerns that he would later incorporate into his work.
On his website Green says that early on, the idea of becoming a writer was like, being an astronaut or playing in the NFL or something. It always seemed to me a very unrealistic dream.
Then he got a job working as a production editor at Booklist, a publication that reviews hundreds of books each month. He began to believe that maybe he, too, could write a book. Another editor at Booklist, Ilene Cooper, became his mentor and encouraged him to write.
Late in 2005, Green's first novel, Looking for Alaska, was published. It received positive critical reviews and won the Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature in 2006. Green wasted no time in releasing his next novel, An Abundance of Katherines (2006), the story of a brilliant mathematics student who attempts to develop a theorem explaining why he has been dumped by nineteen different girls, all named Katherine.
