Sleator

Sleator

William Sleator (* 13. Februar 1945 in Havre de Grace, Maryland, USA), mit vollem Namen William Warner Sleator III, ist ein amerikanischer Science-Fiction-Autor, der besonders Bücher für Jugendliche und Heranwachsende schreibt.

Sleator machte einen Abschluss in Musik und Englisch an der Harvard-Universität.

Seine Geschichten behandeln die Probleme und Sorgen dieser Altersgruppe, die seelischen und psychologischen Aspekte. Auch familiäre Beziehungen, gerade unter Geschwistern, tauchen immer wieder in seinen Werken auf. In seinem bekanntesten Werk The House of Stairs werden fünf jugendliche Waisen ohne ihr Wissen und ihre Zustimmung in einem Experiment benutzt, um die Grenzen ihrer Willenskraft und Anpassung zu erforschen, bis die Situation beinahe außer Kontrolle gerät.
