Liz Lochhead Boeken
Het werk van Liz Lochhead kenmerkt zich door het levendige gebruik van spreektaalidiomen en krachtige volkse uitdrukkingen, die zowel haar poëzie als haar drama tot leven wekken. Ze weet historische verhalen en mythen op meesterlijke wijze te revitaliseren met een eigentijdse gevoeligheid en een energieke taal. Lochhead wordt geprezen om haar vaardigheid in het aanpassen van klassieke verhalen en taal voor een modern publiek. Haar schrijven verkent regelmatig thema's als identiteit, geschiedenis en de vrouwelijke ervaring, allemaal doordrenkt met een uitgesproken Schotse stem.
