Alice Sebold Life

Alice Sebold (born September 6, 1963) is an American writer.

She has written three books: Lucky (1999), The Lovely Bones (2002), and The Almost Moon (2006).

Early life and education

Sebold was born in Madison, Wisconsin. She grew up in the Paoli suburb of Philadelphia, where her father taught Spanish at the University of Pennsylvania. Sebold and her older sister, Mary, were often left to care for their mother, a journalist for a local newspaper, who was also prone to panic attacks and drank heavily.

Sebold graduated from Great Valley High School in Malvern, Pennsylvania, in 1980. Sebold's father was unable to gain admission to the University of Pennsylvania, so she attended Syracuse University instead, where she earned her bachelor's degree. Tess Gallagher, one of Sebold's confidantes, was one of her professors. Raymond Carver, Tobias Wolff, and Hayden Carruth were among her instructors.

She attended the University of Houston, Texas, for graduate school, before moving to Manhattan for the next ten years. When looking for a writing career, she held several waitressing jobs, but neither her poetry nor her attempts to write a novel came to fruition.

Sebold left New York for Southern California, where she became a caretaker of an artists' colony, earning $386 a month and living in a cabin in the woods without electricity. In 1998, she received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Irvine.

Author of banned book which describes sex act between children says it was never meant for children

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 5, 2023
It was never meant for young children, according to the author of a book that was banned from classrooms around the United States due to its description of a sex act involving two 10-year-old boys. Despite scenes that parents were branded'pedophilic,' Lawn Boy, Jonathan Evison's 2018 book, attracted national attention in 2021 after being discovered in school libraries. Due to the contentious passages, school districts in at least 12 states have taken the book from libraries. At a church youth group meeting, the passages included excerpts from a sexual encounter between two fourth grade boys. The book was never meant to be placed in school libraries, according to Evison in The Washington Post. His words appeared in a Journal article in which schools were outlawed because, "a mother mistakenly said the book showed pedophilia." The essay referred to remarks made by a woman from Virginia who mistakenly told a school board meeting that the book depicts a sexual encounter between a man and a ten-year-old boy.
