Paddy Chayefsky Poradie kníh
Paddy Chayefsky bol uznávaným dramatikom Zlatého veku televízie, preslávený svojim naturalistickým štýlom a realistickými scenármi. Jeho diela, často ovplyvnené životom v Bronxe, sa zameriavali na dialóg a zobrazenie druhej generácie Američanov. Chayefsky majstrovsky skúmal problémy obyčajných ľudí, ako je osamelosť a tlaky na konformitu, pričom využíval sentiment aj humor. Získal tri Oscary za najlepší scenár, čím potvrdil svoj status jedinečného rozprávača ľudských skúseností.
