CUSHMAN, KAREN October 4, 1941- Author Autobiographical sketch written for the 1996 Biography from Seventh Book of Junior Authors and Illustrators: I’ve always been a late bloomerbut I always eventually bloom. Here I am making a new career late in life and having a wonderful time. I was born in a suburb of Chicago in October, 1941, and moved with my family to Los Angeles in 1952. In my own mind, I was always a writer, even though I didn't write much. The first thing I remember writing was a plea for brotherhood, understanding, and multiculturalismI was obviously ahead of my timecalled "Jingle Bagels," a play about Santa Claus going down the wrong chimney and landing in a Jewish house during Hanukah. When I matured to thirteen or so, I started an epic poem cycle based on the life of Elvis. Some parts remain; some, alas, are lost to the world. Coming, as I did, from an ethnic working-class Chicago family, I didn't know writing was a job, something that real people did with their lives. Secretary, maybe, or salesman, or school crossing guard, like my Grandpa. A fortuitous scholarship got me to Stanford University, where I excelled at writing depressing poems and irreverent parodies of school songs, but college creative writing class sent me screaming into the night looking for something else to do.

When she was younger, Karen Cushman wanted to be a librarian, a movie star, or a tap dancer. Instead, she became a writerbut only after she raised a daughter named Leah and became a teacher. Now, she spends much of her time writing stories about characters who lived long ago. Author of three novels including one which earned a Newbery Award and another a Newbery Honor Award, Cushman hopes to continue writing for the rest of her life. Cushman was born in Chicago, but moved to Oakland, California when she was ten years old. Her feelings about moving became an important inspiration for her latest work, THE BALLAD OF LUCY WHIPPLE . This book describes the life of a young girl who moves west during the gold rush era, a girl reluctant to part with the world she knows. Cushman's other booksCATHERINE, CALLED BIRDY and MIDWIFE'S APPRENTICEboth explore what it might have been like to be a young girl growing up in medieval times. Before she writes her books, Cushman spends much time learning about the historical period in which she sets her stories. Her books show not only how different life was in earlier times, but also how similar many of the experiences are to our own.

LEARNING ABOUT KAREN CUSHMAN Written by Sonia Berlin Grade 8 John Jay Middle School, Cross River, New York Lucretia Pannozzo, Teacher BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Karen Cushman is a new author who writes historical fiction for young adults. Her first book was published in 1994. Her work is fascinating, if you like to read about the Middle Ages. There are several important events, or milestones, in her life. Karen Cushman was born on October 4, 1941 in Chicago, Illinois. Her parents are Arthur and Loretta Lipski. On September 6, 1969, she married her husband Philip Cushman, who is a professor. She has a daughter named Leah. Karen Cushman currently lives in Oakland, California, which is not too far from her editor. (Hedblad, 89: 43) As she grew up, she became very creative. She would pretend to travel around the world as she rode around on her brother's scooter. When she got a little older, she would get "wild passions" about a certain subject and read all there was about that topic. At one point she was determined to teach ballet to her friends, so they would stand next to a car as Karen read to them what they had to do. (Hedblad, 89: 44) Later, she became involved in the Middle Ages, and so came her first two books. Karen Cushman enjoyed learning about the Middle Ages, but when she read summaries for programs about medieval history she was turned off because of the focus on great events, or people, or movements. (Hazel, June 1996: 1700) She liked to learn about how ordinary people lived, not great kings or queens. Karen remembers that she used to have charts of kings and queens on the wall in her room. ("Cushman" AOL) She tried to get a grant to do research on the Middle Ages once, but it did not work. ("Cushman" AOL)

ACHUKA News Chat Teen/YA ... Specials Karen Cushman Interview by ACHUKA's US Correspondent Cheryl Bowlan The Lipski children, Christmas,1947. Future author Karen Cushman, at age 6, holds her first typewriter, a gift from Santa Claus. Karen Cushman was born in Chicago to the Lipskis on Oct. 4, 1941. Her brother (seen here beside her, in a photo from the family album) came along three years later. The family moved to Los Angeles when Cushman was 10. "I was not thrilled with California," said Cushman. "It was too hot. I missed my grandparents, my dog and my public library. Some of those feelings came out forty-some years later in THE BALLAD OF LUCY WHIPPLE." An avid reader and enthusiastic writer, the young Karen produced her first major work in homage to the "King," an epic poem cycle based on the life of Elvis. She went to Stanford University on a scholarship. For the first time, she said, she realized she "didn’t have to get married, do laundry and spend my life making bologna sandwiches for my kids’ lunches." Cushman graduated with degrees in Greek and English. She later earned master’s degrees in human behavior and museum studies, at the time not realizing all her schooling would prove especially useful to an award-winning novelist. For 11 years she taught in the museum studies department of a San Francisco Bay Area university, where she sharpened her skills researching the stuff of everyday life in historical eras.

31. Karen Cushman Interview Icon Map. Interview with karen cushman. By Stephanie Loer. For thelast four weeks we have been receiving great questions to ask karen. http://www.eduplace.com/rdg/author/cushman/question.html

Interview with Karen Cushman By Stephanie Loer S.L. Where do you get the ideas for your books? K.C. S.L. What do you find so interesting about the medieval times? K.C. The time period appeals to me because I think of the Middle Ages moving into the Renaissance as like a child growing into adolescence. At this point in history, people began to have concerns about identity and concerns about appearance. Men and women began to pay attention to how they looked, and all of a sudden, there were books written about manners. There were also concerns about accountability and privacy. These are some of the same issues that today's adolescents face. S.L. Are the feast days, noted with each journal entry in Catherine, Called Birdy authentic? K.C. Yes, the feast days honoring saints are authentic. In fact, I just read a quote that said "by the year 1200, there were more than 25,000 saints." It was easy to become a saint in those days, because making a person a saint wasn't an official act of the Church. I found most of my information about saints and what deeds were attributed to them in the "Oxford Dictionary of Saints." These were saints of England, because that's where the stories take place.
