    5. březen 1944 – 21. březen 2002

    Thomas Flanagan byl americký profesor anglické literatury se specializací na irskou literaturu, který se prosadil i jako úspěšný romanopisec. Jeho dílo se vyznačuje hlubokým porozuměním irským tématům a stylistickou zručností, díky čemuž se jeho próza stala nezaměnitelnou. Flanagan zkoumal složité aspekty irské historie a kultury, přičemž jeho romány nabízejí poutavý pohled na lidské osudy v historickém kontextu. Jeho literární přínos spočívá v živém zobrazení minulosti a v jeho schopnosti propojit akademický vhled s uměleckým vyprávěním.
