Miles Gibson

    Miles Gibson je anglický prozaik, básnik a umelec, ktorého dielo sa vyznačuje temnou satirou a prvkami magického realizmu či absurdnej fikcie. Hoci jeho príbehy sledujú lineárne rozprávanie, použitie čierneho humoru, pastiša a nespoľahlivých rozprávačov ho radí k postmoderným autorom. Jeho jedinečný štýl skúma hranice reality a absurdity s provokatívnym nadhľadom.
