Come wish your biggest wish and become all you have ever dreamt of becoming, and more.
Adam Johnson píše s mrazivou presnosťou o temných stránkach ľudskej prirodzenosti a o tom, ako sa obyčajní ľudia vyrovnávajú s mimoriadnymi okolnosťami. Jeho próza je naplnená prenikavým vhľadom a znepokojivou realitou, často sa zaoberá témami nútenej práce, straty identity a snahy o ľudskosť v neľudských podmienkach. Johnson majstrovsky spája napätie s hlbokou empatiou, čím čitateľov vťahuje do svetov, ktoré sú rovnako fascinujúce ako desivé. Jeho dielo skúma hranice morálky a odolnosti ľudského ducha s jedinečným a nezabudnuteľným štýlom.







Come wish your biggest wish and become all you have ever dreamt of becoming, and more.

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION 2015 By the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction winner of THE ORPHAN MASTER'S SON - for fans of international literary fiction, especially Hanya Yanigahara, Jonathan Franzen and Karen Jay Fowler.

These are tales of love and loss, natural disasters, the influence of technology, and how the political shapes the personal. Tender, wry, utterly compelling, they show us humanity where you might least expect it.
