An Interview with Gayle Forman

Q: You started your career as a journalist and your first book is a travelogue about going around the world. Is YA literature a departure for you?

Gayle Forman: Actually, its more of a homecoming. My first writing job was at Seventeen, where I spent five years on staff and as a contributor reporting the magazines social-issues stories. I loved writing for teens then becausecontrary to popular opinionthey really care about serious issues (from child soldiers in Africa to kids embroiled in the drug war here) and the engage in their reading with such passion. So, now that Im writing young-adult literature, it feels like Ive come full circle.

Q: This book explores some serious themes. Why is this a book for kids and not adults?

GF: Its a book for kids precisely because it explores serious themes. Teenagers are grappling with choices about life and love as much as adults, so why shouldnt their reading reflect that? I dont set out to write YA. It just seems like Im drawn to stories about young people. That said, I think If I Stay is for adults, too. I love the idea of teens reading this book and then handing it off to their parents.

Q: Many key characters are serious musicians, and songs are referenced throughout the book. Are you a musician?

GF: No. Except for piano lessons when I was a kid and a brief spate of guitar playing in my teens, Ive never played an instrument. I am, however, a huge music fan. And my husband is a musician; he was playing in a punk band when we met, so Ive spent a lot of my life ensconced in that scene. I seem drawn to writing about musicians, though Ive never been all that interested in the cello until Mia popped into my head.

Q: What inspired you to write this book?

GF: Music. Oregon. People I have loved. And unfortunately, the book is inspired by a real-life tragedy that happened several years ago.

Q: This is a book about death, but its not depressing. Why is that?

GF: Maybe because its really about the power of loveof family, friends, musicand therefore it ultimately affirms life.
