This was a story of two brothers and the differences in their lives and how these move them apart. She married him in 1970 and had a baby boy in August 1983 named Nicholas David Inhofe.Īfter coming out of writer’s block Hinton wrote her second novel ‘That was Then, This was now’ which was published in 1971. Using the profits of her sales she joined the University of Tulsa where she got her degree and also met her life partner David Inhofe. It received some critique in the beginning for showing a rebellious youth but then it became one of the most renowned novels of the time. This novel was called ‘The Outsiders’ and was published in 1967. The story is narrated by her character of ‘Pony boy’. The gangs belonged to two different classes of the society the lower middle class ‘greasers’ and the upper class ‘Socs’. So taking inspiration from real life and events that had happened in her life she created a story of two gangs and their rivalry. She wanted something more realistic a story about what it is really like in the teenage. The typical ‘girl meets boy’ stories were very emblematic and monotonous for her. Hinton loves to ride her horses and spend time with her husband and son.As she grew up in her teens she realized that nothing interested her as much as she wanted. In a complete change of direction, her last two books are for children of elementary school age: Big David, Little David, and The Puppy Sister. That same year she released Taming The Star Runner. In 1988, Susan received the very first YASD/SLJ Author Achievement Award, which was given by the Young Adult Services Division of the American Library Association and the School Library Journal. The movie, That was Then, This is Now was released in 1985, starring Emilio Estevez and Morgan Freeman.
In October 1983, the movie Rumble Fish, was released, again starring Matt Dillon and Diane Lane, with Dennis Hopper, Nicholas Cage and Laurence Fishburne. In March, 1983, the movie The Outsiders was released, starring Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, Diane Lane and another of Will Rogers’ Hall of Fame members, Gailard Sartain. In 1975, she expanded her short story, Rumble Fish, into a novel, which garnered the entire spectrum of reviews, from “her best book” to “her last book.” Tex followed in 1979.
She followed The Outsiders with That was Then, This is Now, published in 1971. Hinton soon became known as “The Voice of the Youth.”
Countless young people have said that The Outsiders was the first book they had ever read cover to cover, and S.E. Always an avid reader, her best-selling novel was a result of the dissastisfaction she had with books written for young adults. Susan Eloise Hinton published her first work, The Outsiders, only one year after graduation from Will Rogers.
