  • Columbine is a non-fiction book written by Dave Cullen and published by Twelve (Hachette Book Group) on April 6, 2009. It is an examination of the Columbine High School massacre, on April 20, 1999, and the perpetrators Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. The book covers two major storylines: the killer's evolution leading up to the attack, and the survivors' struggles with the aftermath over the next decade. Chapters alternate between the two stories. Graphic depictions of parts of the attack are included, in addition to the actual names of friends and family (the only exception being the pseudonym "Harriet", which is used for a female Columbine student referred to in Klebold’s journal entries, with whom he was obsessively in love). Cullen says he spent ten years researching and writing the book. He previously contributed to The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Times of London, and The Guardian. He is best known for his work for Slate and Salon.com. His Slate story "The Depressive and the Psychopath" five years earlier, offered the first diagnosis of the killers by the team of psychologists and psychiatrists brought into the case by the FBI. Publication was timed to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the massacre, which occurred on April 20, 1999. The book spent eight weeks on The New York Times bestseller list in the spring of 2009, peaking at #3. The book gained considerable media attention for addressing many of the so-called Columbine myths widely taken for granted. According to the book, the massacre had nothing to do with school bullying, jocks, the Gothic subculture, Marilyn Manson or the Trench Coat Mafia. Cullen also writes that the attack was intended primarily as a bombing rather than a school shooting, and that Harris and Klebold intended to perpetrate the worst terrorist attack in American history. The book garnered glowing reviews from Time, Newsweek, People, The New York Observer and Entertainment Weekly. One of the few dissenting views came from Janet Maslin, who wrote in The New York Times, "What good can a new book on Columbine do? Mr. Cullen's Salon coverage had already refuted some of the worst misconceptions about the story by the fall of 1999... Emerging details mostly corroborate what was already known." Columbine won a bevy of awards and honors, including the Edgar Allan Poe Award, Barnes & Noble's Discover Award, and the Goodreads Choice Award. It was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize, the Audie Award and the MPIBA Regional Book Award. Additionally, Columbine was named on two dozen Best of 2009 lists, including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly, iTunes and the American Library Association. It was declared Top Education Book of 2009, and one of the best of the decade by the American School Board Journal. (en)
  • Columbine é um livro não-fictício escrito por Dave Cullen e publicado pela Twelve em 6 de abril de 2009. É um exame do massacre de Columbine, causado por Eric Harris e Dylan Klebold, em 20 de abril de 1999. O livro abrange dois grandes enredos: a evolução dos assassinos, da qual os levou até o ataque, e a luta dos sobreviventes com as consequências durante a década seguinte. Os capítulos alternam entre as duas histórias. Também foram incluídas representações gráficas de algumas partes do ataque, além dos nomes reais de amigos e familiares (a única exceção foi o apelido "Harriet", usado para uma menina por quem Dylan Klebold estava obsessivamente apaixonado). Dave Cullen afirma que passou dez anos pesquisando e escrevendo o livro. Anteriormente, contribuia para o The New York Times, o The Washington Post, o The Times de Londres, e o The Guardian. Ele é mais conhecido por seu trabalho para a Slate e para a Salon.com. Sua história na Slate, "The Depressive and the Psychopath", cinco anos antes, ofereceu o primeiro diagnóstico dos assassinos graças a equipe de psicólogos e psiquiatras trazidos até o caso pelo FBI. O lançamento do livro estava programado para acontecer no aniversário de dez anos do massacre de Columbine, que ocorreu em 20 de abril. O livro passou oito semanas na lista de mais vendidos do The New York Times na primavera de 2009, atingindo o terceiro lugar. O livro ganhou uma atenção média considerável para discutir os chamados mitos de Columbine, amplamente tomados como concedidos. De acordo com o livro, o massacre não tinha nada a ver com o bullying escolar, os atletas, a subcultura gótica, Marilyn Manson ou a The Trenchcoat Mafia. Dave Cullen também escreve que, de início, o massacre era para ser um bombardeio, em vez de um tiroteio, e que Eric Harris e Dylan Klebold pretendiam causar o pior ataque terrorista da história americana. O livro recebeu excelentes críticas das revistas Time, Newsweek, People, The New York Observer e The New York Times Book Review. Uma das poucas opiniões divergentes veio de Janet Maslin, que escreveu no The New York Times: "O que um livro novo sobre Columbine pode fazer? A cobertura do Sr. Cullen na Salon já havia refutado alguns dos piores conceitos errados sobre a história no outono de 1999... Detalhes emergentes corroboram principalmente o que já era conhecido". Columbine ganhou vários prêmios e honras, incluindo o Edgar Allan Poe Award, o Barnes & Noble's Discover Award e o Goodreads Choice Award. O livro foi finalista do LA Times Book Prize, do Audie Award e do MPIBA Regional Book Award. Além disso, Columbine foi nomeado em duas dezenas das listas de Melhores de 2009, incluindo no The New York Times, no Los Angeles Times, no Publishers Weekly, no iTunes e na American Library Association. Foi declarado como o Livro de Educação Superior de 2009, e como um dos melhores da década pelo American School Board Journal. (pt)
