Richard Farin a. Knihy
Richard Fariña bol americký spisovateľ a folkový spevák, ktorého dielo odrážalo jeho kozmopolitné pozadie a rebelského ducha. Jeho písanie sa vyznačuje surovou energiou a nekompromisným skúmaním tém odcudzenia, mladosti a hľadania identity v búrlivých časoch. Prostredníctvom svojich textov zachytil ducha doby, často s nádychom absurdity a irónie. Jeho literárny odkaz spočíva v jeho schopnosti vyjadriť nepokoj a vzdor generácie.
