About This Event
Dr. Ann Ciasullo, Professor of English, will be speaking about her new book The Outsiders: Adolescent Tenderness and Staying Gold. The film (based on S.E. Hinton’s 1967 novel) tells the story of the Greasers, a gang of working-class boys yearning for security, love, and acceptance in a world ruled by their rival gang, the rich Socs. Dr. Ciasullo’s book traces how the film attracted a teen girl audience through depicting the emotional rather than sexual lives of young men.
