Stephen Chbosky

Philip Wolny

The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the best-selling book written by author Stephen Chbosky (published in 1999), which was followed by his screenplay (the popular movie for which was released in 2012), is to today’s young adults what J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye was to teens of decades past. In poignant, knowing language and characterization, Chbosky captures the joys, anguish, confusion, and once-in-a-lifetime experience that is adolescence. Find out about the book, the movie, and the engaging author in this singular account about how one man wrote a story that has become an emotional touchstone for a generation.
