Henry Green Boeken
29 oktober 1905 – 13 december 1973
Henry Green, het pseudoniem van Henry Vincent Yorke, was een romanschrijver die gevierd werd om zijn voortreffelijke weergave van sociale nuances en interpersoonlijke dynamiek. Zijn werk wordt gekenmerkt door diep psychologisch inzicht in personages en een scherpe observatie van het dagelijks leven. Green putte vaak uit zijn ervaringen in industriële omgevingen en zijn persoonlijke leven, die hij meesterlijk vertaalde naar zijn fictie. Zijn kenmerkende stijl, vaak doordrenkt van subtiele humor en ironie, onthult de verborgen motivaties en gevoelens van zijn personages aan de lezer.
