William Sleator William Sleator

Last updated on: March 11, 2010

After leaving his position as rehearsal pianist with the Boston Ballet company, it didn't take long for William Sleator to be considered the country's most original science fiction writer for teens. House of Stairs, The Green Futures of Tycho, and Interstellar Pig introduced readers to an imaginative, witty, brilliant mind whose goal has always been to entertain while providing us with the opportunity to consider such possibilities as chaos, strange attractors, boltzmons, time travel, and psychokinesis. More recently, he has included fantasy elements in his stories and introduced teens to modern Thailand as a setting for exploring spirit worlds.
