Sam Savage

    9 november 1940 – 17 januari 2019

    Sam Savage was een Amerikaanse romanschrijver en dichter wiens werk de complexiteit van het menselijk bestaan onderzocht. Zijn stijl, gekenmerkt door scherpe inzichten en precieze taal, trok lezers mee in de diepten van de menselijke psyche. Savage's geschriften worden gekenmerkt door een unieke mix van melancholie en humor, wat hen een onmiskenbare literaire kwaliteit verleent. Zowel zijn proza als zijn poëzie getuigen van zijn diepe begrip van de menselijke conditie en zijn vaardigheid om deze via literatuur te verwoorden.
