Why does John Green focus on the young adult genre? In an interview with The Huffington Post, Green feels that those within this age group exhibit great bravery in tackling difficult questions.
Green explains: “I think we should credit teenagers with the way that they grapple with that. I don’t know — I find them inspirational, actually, and I think they’re a lot of times smarter than I am — a lot smarter than I am — in terms of the way that they grab onto a question and really, really wrestle it without fear.”
When Green isn’t hunched over his writing desk, he can usually be found shooting a vlog or producing a movie. Click here to watch the first trailer for the Paper Towns film adaptation.
