Mark Sampson

    Het werk van Mark Sampson duikt in complexe menselijke relaties en de zoektocht naar identiteit. Zijn proza staat bekend om zijn indringende psychologische diepgang en lyrische stijl, die vaak de donkerdere aspecten van de menselijke ervaring verkent. Sampson gebruikt meesterlijk symboliek en metaforen om rijke, suggestieve werelden te creëren die de lezer uitdagen tot nadenken. Zijn schrijven wordt beschouwd als een belangrijke bijdrage aan de hedendaagse Canadese literatuur.
