William Stadiem

    William Stadiem prešiel od sveta financií a práva k pohlteniu dekadencie a výstredností Hollywoodu, ktoré vo svojom diele s obľubou zaznamenáva. Jeho písanie vyniká bystrým pohľadom na životy celebrít a zákulisné pikošky, ktoré odhaľuje s charakteristickým vtipom a prenikavosťou. Ako scenárista a novinár si vybudoval reputáciu poskytovaním exkluzívnych a často šokujúcich pohľadov do sveta slávnych. Jeho próza je plná pestrých postáv a dramatických zvratov, ktoré čitateľov vtiahnu do víru excentrického života, ktorý tak majstrovsky opisuje.
