Markus Zusak Biography

 



Markus Zusak was born on June 23, 1975. The last kid in his family, Zusak was the only boy. When they first arrived in Australia in 1950, his German and Austrian immigrant parents were unable to read or write in English due to their lack of proficiency in the language. As a result, they emphasized the importance of their children becoming proficient in the English language. This encouraged Zusak to start writing at a young age when he was just a child. Before beginning his career as a full-time writer, he attended the University of New South Wales to earn a degree in education and had a variety of odd jobs, including stints as a janitor, house painter, and English teacher.

The publication of Markus Zusak’s trilogy, which included the novels When Dogs Cry, Fighting Ruben Wolfe, and The Underdog, marked the beginning of the author’s rise to prominence in the world of literature. Zusak was given the award for best book for young adults by the American Library Association for his novel Fighting Ruben Wolfe.
