Malorie Blackman
Author
Malorie Blackman, is an award-winning British author of literature and television drama for children and young adults. A prolific writer for young children and teenagers she has frequently used science fiction to explore social and ethical issues.
Blackman's award-winning Noughts & Crosses series, exploring love, racism, and violence, is set in a fictional dystopia. The novels have since been adapted for the stage and performed in the UK by the Royal Shakespeare Company. The fourth book in the Noughts and Crosses series is due to be published in November 2008.
'Filled with love, sorrow, suffering and stinging satire on injustice, Noughts and Crosses is a remarkable novel, not least in tackling the subject of race with brilliant simplicity. Every page shocks; Knife Edge, the sequel, is no less impressive. The style is simple and direct, but the ramifications of what it describes are thought out in devastating detail. Children’s fiction has long been the repository of great satirical writing, but Blackman’s [series] takes it into levels unseen since Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four.' (The Times, 31 January 2004).
In 2008, Malorie was awarded an OBE for services to children's literature.
