Geraldine Bonner

    Geraldine Bonner bola americká autorka, ktorej diela sa často odohrávali v prostredí kalifornských baníckych táborov, kam sa ako dieťa presťahovala. Jej poviedky, publikované v popredných dobových časopisoch, skúmali život a postavy spojené s touto drsnou krajinou. Bonner prinášala do svojej prózy jedinečný pohľad, ktorý čerpal z jej vlastných skúseností a pozorovaní. Jej štýl zachytával surovosť a realitu života na americkom Západe.
