Kent Haruf Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
24. február 1943 – 30. november 2014
Kent Haruf sa preslávil svojimi románmi zasadenými do fiktívneho mestečka Holt v Colorade. Jeho štýl sa vyznačuje pokojnou, ale prenikavou pozornosťou k obyčajným ľuďom a ich životom. Haruf majstrovsky zachytáva témy komunity, straty a vytrvalosti s nenápadnou precíznosťou. Jeho diela ponúkajú hlboký pohľad na americký stredozápad a jeho obyvateľov, často s dôrazom na tichú silu a vzájomnú podporu.
