The Author of "Vision Quest" Responds to "Hidden Secrets."

Davis, Terry

English Journal, v81 n5 p87-89 Sep 1992

Relates the author's frustration with the idea that writers of young adult literature should avoid profanity and make the books unobjectionable. Discusses the need for truth in telling the stories of his characters, and asserts that making his books unobjectionable would be to lie about what it is to be human. (PRA)
