Mike Meginnis

    Mike Meginnis sa vo svojom písaní zameriava na zložité medziľudské vzťahy a skúma temnejšie stránky ľudskej povahy. Jeho próza sa vyznačuje prenikavým vhľadom do psychológie postáv a často sa ponára do tém straty, pamäti a hľadania identity. Meginnisov štýl charakterizuje jeho úspornosť a zároveň silná emocionálna rezonancia, ktorá čitateľa vtiahne do hlbokých introspektívnych krajín jeho diel. Jeho poviedky sa objavili v prestížnych antológiách a literárnych časopisoch, čo potvrdzuje jeho postavenie ako výrazného hlasu súčasnej americkej prózy.

    • "One night, everyone on Earth has the same dream--a dream of being guided to a watery death by a loved one on November 1. When they wake up, most people agree: after Halloween, the world will end. In the wake of this haunting dream and saddled with its uncertainty, Lyd and her daughter, Mott, navigate a changed world, wrestling with how to make choices when you really don't know what comes next. Embarking on a quixotic road trip filled with a collection of unexpected and memorable characters, Lyd and Mott are determined to live out what could be their final months as fully as possible. But how can Lyd protect Mott and help her achieve her ambitions in a world where inhibitions, desires, and motivations have become unpredictable, and where Mott's dangerous and conniving father has his own ideas about how his estranged family should spend their last days?"--Provided by publisher
