Snow Falling on Cedars

Snow Falling on Cedars is the first novel written by American writer David Guterson. Guterson, who at the time was a teacher, wrote the book in the early morning hours. He authored the book in a ten year period from the 1960s to the 1980s. After the novel was a success, however, he quit his job and wrote full-time. The novel was published on September 26, 1995, becoming an immediate bestseller and winning that year's PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. Influenced by Harper Lee's novel To Kill A Mockingbird, Snow Falling on Cedars also deals with racism. Snow Falling on Cedars was adapted into a film (Snow Falling on Cedars) in 1999, which won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography.
