Abstrak

This article examines the famous 1993 novel The Giver, by American author Lois Lowry, and the controversies surrounding the novel’s themes deemed disturbing for young readers. It offers a brief review of the text and outlines its conflicted reception as understood through the framework of the socio-political systems of the United States at the end of the 20th century. The article continues by examining Lowry’s strategic postures and positioning in the face of censorship and success, as well as the cultural mechanisms in play at the time, to explain the work’s enduring popularity. Through this lens, the article examines the interplay between authorial identity in young adult literature and media culture during the 1990s and 2000s.
