The author of my book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is Stephen Chbosky. He was born in 1970 in Pittsburgh, Pennslyvania. Stephen Chbosky graduated from the University of Southern California's Filmatic Writing Program. Not only did he write the book, but he also produced the movie of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. His first movie he produced is The Four Corners of Nowhere. He also prduced Jericho, a movie about a postapocalyptic world, and the movie Rent.
Here is a link to an interview with Stephen Chbosky about how The Perks of Being a Wallflower became a very controversial book. It got banned from some schools because of the drug, alcohol, and sexual things happening in the book. Chbosky defends his book in this interview, and also shares the good things coming from his book. Including stopping some suicides.
