Leonard Gardner

    3. november 1933

    Leonard Gardner je americký prozaik, poviedkar a scenárista, ktorého dielo sa vyznačuje surovým realizmom a temným realizmom. Jeho román „Fat City“ je považovaný za americkú klasiku, ktorá prenikavo opisuje životné zápasy outsiderov. Gardner sa vo svojich textoch sústredí na postavy, ktoré bojujú s drsnou realitou a málokedy dosiahnu svoje sny, pričom jeho štýl je oprostený od klišé a ponúka hlboko ľudský pohľad na beznádej aj húževnatosť.
