Patrick Dillon Boeken
Patrick Dillon, woonachtig in Kennington, runt een bloeiende architectuurpraktijk. Zijn debuutroman verkende de complexiteit van menselijke relaties en morele vraagstukken, waarmee hij zich vestigde als een schrijver die psychologische nuances scherpzinnig observeert. Zijn latere werk duikt verder in de ingewikkelde aard van waarheid en bedrog, en onderzoekt hoe deze fundamentele concepten onze percepties en acties vormen. Dillon's proza kenmerkt zich door een doordachte omgang met diepgaande thema's, waarmee hij lezers uitnodigt tot diepe introspectie.
