John Collier

    16 december 1708 – 14 juli 1786

    John Collier was een in Groot-Brittannië geboren auteur en scenarioschrijver, gevierd om zijn meesterlijke korte verhalen, waarvan vele in The New Yorker verschenen. Zijn verhalen staan bekend om hun scherpe psychologische diepgang en een donkere, vaak satirische humor die verborgen motivaties en de perverse kanten van de menselijke natuur blootlegt. Collier verweeft vakkundig elementen van fantasie, horror en het groteske, waarmee hij verhalen creëert die zowel onvergetelijk als onheilspellend zijn. Zijn verfijnde proza en rijke taal bieden lezers een diepgaande en tot nadenken stemmende literaire ervaring.
