Orrie Hitt

    Orrie Edwin Hitt bol produktívnym autorom, ktorého diela sa často zaoberali témami sexuality, brutality a pokrytectva amerického života. Napriek tomu, že pracoval v „dospeláckom“ žánri, kde mnohí autori upadli do klišé, Hitt vynikal svojim jedinečným a idiosynkratickým prístupom. Jeho písanie bolo inšpirované presvedčením, že realisticky zobrazuje hlboké ľudské potreby a túžby, ako aj povrchnosť americkej spoločnosti. Hittov záväzok k autenticite ho viedol k dôkladnému výskumu, ktorý mu umožnil písať presvedčivo a zanechať trvalú stopu v publikovaní.
