Peter Davis

    Peter Davis creëert romans die cruciale historische en culturele kruispunten verkennen, zoals de aantrekkingskracht van Hollywood tegen de achtergrond van economische tegenspoed en politieke ideologieën. Zijn non-fictie duikt in de Amerikaanse onderklasse, revolutionaire bewegingen en het weefsel van het leven in kleine steden, en krijgt brede kritische erkenning. Als ervaren journalist en redacteur heeft Davis met een scherp oog belangrijke wereldgebeurtenissen belicht, ook in conflictgebieden. Zijn carrière als bekroond documentairemaker onderstreept verder zijn talent om complexe sociale en politieke realiteiten met diepgang en nuance te belichten.
