Pullman rose to prominence in 1995 with the release of Light Lights, known as the Golden Compass in North America and abroad. The novel has caused controversy with Pullman over what many see as his criticism of organized religion. However, in interviews, Pullman often emphasizes that he is the first in the news. Therefore, the message of his stories is in describing the reader. Pullman says his goal is not to insult his students or anything but to stimulate their imagination and open their minds to new opportunities.
