Blake Morrison

    8. říjen 1950

    Blake Morrison je autorem, jehož dílo se pohybuje na pomezí fikce, poezie a literární kritiky. Jeho styl se vyznačuje hlubokým vhledem do lidské psychiky a precizním jazykem, který zkoumá složité rodinné vztahy a paměť. Morrison se zaměřuje na univerzální témata ztráty, identity a hledání smyslu v osobních příbězích. Jeho psaní je ceněno pro svou upřímnost a literární mistrovství.
