Michael Muhammad Knight

    1. január 1977

    Michael Muhammad Knight je americký autor, ktorého diela sú obľúbené najmä medzi mladými americkými moslimami. Jeho písanie je často označované za nevyhnutné a nádejné, pričom si vyslúžil prezývku „gonzo experimentátor islamu“. Knight sa vyznačuje provokatívnym prístupom k súčasnej kultúre a skúma témy islamu a identity s jedinečným literárnym štýlom. Jeho eseje a novinárske práce, ktoré sa často riadia princípmi gonzo žurnalistiky, ponúkajú odvážny a nekonvenčný pohľad na svet.
