Rick Bass Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Rick Bass sa venuje hlbokému skúmaniu divokej prírody a jej prepojenia s ľudským životom. Jeho štýl sa vyznačuje zmyslom pre detail a lyričnosťou, ktorý čitateľa vťahuje do drsnej krásy a krehkosti prírodného sveta. Skrze svoje poviedky a romány Bass skúma témy ochrany prírody, ľudskej identity a hľadania zmyslu v odľahlých krajinách. Jeho písanie je vášnivou obhajobou divočiny a meditáciou o našom mieste v nej.
In this anthology, 26 writers illuminate the motivations at the heart of their creative lives in original essays that are as surprising and varied as their fiction. The contributors include Pat Conroy, Norman Mailor, Rick Moody and David Foster Wallace.
