John Hickmans schrijfstijl biedt een rijke tapijt geweven uit een gevarieerde reeks levenservaringen, die zijn unieke perspectief vormen. Voortbouwend op carrières in de bankwereld, ongediertebestrijding en landbouw, vangen zijn verhalen het vermogen om humor en diepgang te vinden in alledaagse situaties. Door middel van boeiende verhalen deelt hij reflecties en herinneringen, vaak doordrenkt met een zelfspot, en nodigt hij lezers uit in een wereld van memorabele personages en onconventionele avonturen. Zijn werk, dat autobiografische verslagen en fictieve verhalen omvat, biedt een humoristische maar aangrijpende verkenning van het leven en de menselijke natuur.
