George Washington Cable

    George Washington Cable was een Amerikaanse romanschrijver, bekend om het realisme van zijn portretten van het Creoolse leven in zijn geboorteland Louisiana. Zijn werken duiken in de complexiteit van de Zuidelijke samenleving en onderzoeken thema's als rechtvaardigheid, traditie en maatschappelijke verandering met een scherp oog voor detail. De kenmerkende stijl van Cable vangt de muzikaliteit en het ritme van het Zuidelijke dialect, wat lezers een levendige en meeslepende ervaring biedt.
