Florian Zeller je francouzský autor, jehož hry a romány vynikají pronikavým vhledem do lidské psychiky. Jeho díla zkoumají složitost mezilidských vztahů a zdánlivě obyčejné situace, které se v jeho podání stávají napínavými a znepokojivými. Zeller mistrně pracuje s napětím a odhaluje skryté motivace svých postav, čímž čtenáře nutí k zamyšlení nad vlastní existencí. Jeho styl je charakteristický svou úsporností a zároveň hlubokou emocionální rezonancí, což z něj činí jednoho z nejvýznamnějších současných dramatiků a prozaiků.
