Autor

Owen Johnson (1878-1952) was an American writer best known for his works that depicted the experience of adolescence and young adulthood with a discerning and insightful eye. Born in New York City, he was the son of Robert Underwood Johnson, a noted editor and diplomat. Johnson studied at Yale University, where his experiences laid the groundwork for what would become one of his most celebrated books, 'Stover at Yale.' This work critically examined the collegiate system and social complexities. 'The Eternal Boy,' another one of Johnson's important works, continued his exploration of youth, focusing on the character of Dink Stover. In this portrayal, Johnson captures the zeitgeist of the early 20th century, grappling with themes of individualism versus conformity, and the trials of personal growth during the tumultuous years of adolescence. His literary style often incorporated a mixture of humor, candidness, and a deep understanding of the human condition. Johnson's work provides a vivid snapshot of the era's social mores and the inner lives of his characters, earning him a respected place in American literary history. Throughout his prolific career, he produced novels, short stories, and essays, contributing extensively to the literature of his time and influencing subsequent generations of writers with his nuanced portrayals of youth and society.
