Norman Parker

    Norman Parker čerpal zo svojich rozsiahlych väzenských skúseností, kde strávil dvadsaťštyri rokov po odsúdení za vraždu. Počas svojho uväznenia, ktoré zahŕňalo dlhé obdobie samoväzby, sa ponoril do štúdia a získal vysokoškolský titul. Tieto skúsenosti sa stali základom pre jeho bestseller Parkhurst Tales a ďalšie diela. Jeho písanie ponúka jedinečný pohľad na život vo väzení a zložitosť ľudskej psychiky v extrémnych podmienkach.
