In the history of literature, R. L. Stine is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists R. L. Stine as American novelist (born 1943).
R. L. Stine was born at Columbus in 1943. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at Ohio State University and Bexley High School.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as writer, novelist and screenwriter.
Literature is judged by re-reading, which is a slower and harsher test than acclaim.
His work was formally recognised with the Inkpot Award and Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement.
That the work was done from the United States matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
R. L. Stine is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
