Iain Crichton-Smith

    Tento skotský literát, píšící v angličtině a skotské gaelštině, proslul svou poezií, povídkami a romány. Jeho dílo se často zabývá tématy identity, jazyka a střetu tradice s modernitou. Smith mistrně zachycuje vnitřní život svých postav a krásu i drsnost skotské krajiny. Jeho jedinečný hlas rezonuje v literatuře obou jazyků, kterými psal.
