Will Harris

    Will Harris je britský básnik a esejista, ktorého tvorba pretkáva témy identity, dedičstva a moderného života. Jeho štýl je charakterizovaný naliehavosťou a prenikavou inteligenciou, často skúma zložitosť medzi-kultúrneho života a hľadanie miesta vo svete. Harrisova poézia aj próza rezonujú silným osobným hlasom, ktorý odhaľuje hlboké pravdy o ľudskej skúsenosti. Je uznávaný pre svoju schopnosť zachytiť podstatu súčasnej existencie s neobyčajnou citlivosťou a precíznosťou.

RENDANG is an urgent comment on what it means to be a person now, a dissection of and love letter to the histories, places, and things that make us."--Front flap.

      Mixed-Race Superman is a reflection on the lives of two very different supermen: Barack Obama and Keanu Reeves. In an era where a man endorsed by the Klu Klux Klan can sit in the White House, Will Harris argues that the mixed-race background of each gave them a shapelessness that was a form of resistance. Drawing on his own personal experience and examining the way that these two men have been embedded in our collective consciousness, Harris asks what they can teach us about race and heroism.
