Guterson's novel Snow Falling on Cedars
David Guterson (born May 4, 1956) is best known as the author of the novel Snow Falling on Cedars, which won many awards, including the 1995 PEN/Faulkner Award. It was adapted for a motion picture starring Ethan Hawke. A former high school English teacher, he is also a magazine journalist. He also wrote Family Matters: Why Homeschooling Makes Sense, a thoughtful discussion of why he and his wife teach their children at home and out in the world rather than sending them to school. His 2003 novel, Our Lady of the Forest is about a fictional Marian apparition witnessed by a teenage girl in Washington.
B.R. Myers attacked Guterson in "A Reader's Manifesto."
Guterson was born in Seattle.
