Leonard Gardner

    3. listopad 1933

    Leonard Gardner je americký prozaik, povídkář a scenárista, jehož dílo se vyznačuje syrovým realismem a temným optimismem. Jeho román „Fat City“ je považován za americkou klasiku, která pronikavě popisuje životní zápasy outsiderů. Gardner se ve svých textech soustředí na postavy, které bojují s drsnou realitou a málokdy dosáhnou svých snů, přičemž jeho styl je oproštěn od klišé a nabízí hluboce lidský pohled na beznaděj i houževnatost.
