Jon Adams

    Tento autor skúma, ako fikcia dokáže sprostredkovať zážitky lepšie ako holé fakty. Jeho román, inšpirovaný štvorročnou svetovou plavbou na palube jachty, sa ponára do hĺbok naratívu, aby zachytil esenciu cestovania. Pochopením, že denníky samy o sebe nedokážu podať ucelený príbeh, autor využíva silu rozprávania na oživenie spomienok a sprostredkovanie pocitov ostatným. Jeho dielo ukazuje, že skutočné rozprávanie často vyžaduje viac ako len záznam udalostí, a že skutočný príbeh môže byť uveriteľnejší a pôsobivejší než holá pravda.
