Edna Ferber

    15 augustus 1885 – 16 april 1968

    Edna Ferber was een Amerikaanse romanschrijfster wier werken zich vaak concentreerden op sterke vrouwelijke protagonisten en een rijk mozaïek van bijfiguren. Door haar verhalen verkende Ferber de menselijke conditie, waarbij ze de overtuiging uitdroeg dat mensen mensen zijn en dat degenen aan de rand vaak het grootste karakter bezitten. Haar schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door levendige portretten en een scherp oog voor de nuances van het Amerikaanse leven. Ferbers literaire betekenis ligt in haar inzichtelijke analyse van de samenleving en haar blijvende focus op personages die vooroordelen en discriminatie trotseerden.
