Francesca L. Block Knihy
Francesca Lia Block je autorka, ktorej diela často skúmajú krehkosť detstva a dospievania s jedinečnou zmesou fantázie a surovej reality. Jej próza sa vyznačuje lyrickou kvalitou a poetickým jazykom, ktorý evokuje snovú atmosféru a zároveň sa dotýka hlbokých ľudských emócií. Blocková majstrovsky prepája nadprirodzené s každodennými starosťami svojich postáv, čím vytvára príbehy, ktoré sú zároveň nadčasové aj naliehavo súčasné. Jej písanie je často považované za priekopnícke v zobrazovaní marginalizovaných postáv a tém.
