Henry Gregor Felsen

    Felsen was een productieve auteur wiens werken vaak thema's als drugsgebruik, sexisme en racisme verkenden. Zijn schrijfstijl werd gekenmerkt door realisme, met vaak ongelukkige eindes en rebelse helden. Felsen wilde deze complexe onderwerpen aansnijden in literatuur voor jonge lezers, waarmee hij naar eigen zeggen zijn tijd vooruit was. Zijn boeken, met name zijn autoseries, weerspiegelden de moraal en vooroordelen van die tijd, hoewel hij bekend werd om zijn heldhaftige personages die vaak met juist deze worstelingen te maken kregen.

      Road Rocket
    • Every year a new fad makes its mark at Raccoon Forks High: noisy, outlandish, expensive, silly, but never dangerous or destructive. Even the latest fad of drag racing to school was tame compared to the wild crazes that had seized students in other towns. That is, until David "Outlaw" Galt transferred from Capital City High. Usurping Mike Revere's position as the best boy with the best car, and stealing the girl who went with it, he set off a power struggle the likes of which Raccon Forks had never seen. But Mike was willing to drive his way to victory, no matter the cost. Crash Club captured the heart and soul of 1950s hot rod culture. The lean, mean story follows Revere's hard-driving path to rodding redemption, riffs on some meaningful messages, and unleashes a fast and furious read. Dig in and learn what millions of readers already know; the world's most popular hot rod novel is a hopped-up high-horsepower thrill ride.
