Kevin Brockmeier

    Brockmeier píše s neuveriteľnou eleganciou a vtipom o podivuhodných a často neočakávaných aspektoch ľudskej skúsenosti. Jeho diela skúmajú zložitosť vzťahov a nekonečné možnosti, ktoré sa skrývajú v každodennom živote. S neomylným okom pre detail a hlbokým porozumením ľudskej povahy vytvára Brockmeier príbehy, ktoré sú zároveň intímne aj univerzálne. Jeho písanie rezonuje s pocitom úžasu nad svetom a jemným humorom, ktorý osvetľuje paradoxnú povahu existencie.
