  <about><![CDATA[Robert Edmund Cormier (January 17, 1925–November 2, 2000) was an American author, columnist and reporter, known for his deeply pessimistic, downbeat literature. His most popular works include &lt;i&gt;I Am the Cheese, After the First Death, We All Fall Down &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;i&gt;The Chocolate War&lt;/i&gt;, all of which have won awards. &lt;i&gt;The Chocolate War &lt;/i&gt;was challenged in multiple libraries. His books often are concerned with themes such as abuse, mental illness, violence, revenge, betrayal and conspiracy. In most of his novels, the protagonists do not win.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Leominster, Massachusetts</hometown>  <born_at>01/17/1925</born_at>  <died_at>11/02/2000</died_at>
