Peter Lefcourt

    Peter Lefcourt, een vluchteling uit de Hollywood-loopgraven, vestigde zich als scenarioschrijver en producent. Zijn proza durft zich te wagen in de donkere krochten van de menselijke natuur en maatschappelijke taboes, vaak doorspekt met scherpe humor en inzicht. Lefcourt richt zich in zijn werk voornamelijk op het verkennen van de ingewikkelde relaties tussen macht, seksualiteit en publieke perceptie, waarbij hij de hypocrisie en absurditeit van het hedendaagse leven blootlegt. Zijn onderscheidende stijl wordt gekenmerkt door ironie en provocerende vragen die de lezer dwingen na te denken over de grenzen van moraliteit en maatschappelijke conventies.
