Luke Short

    19 novembre 1908 – 18 août 1975

    Luke Short, pseudonyme de Frederick Dilley Glidden, s'est imposé comme une voix prédominante dans la fiction western. Ses récits sont célébrés pour leur représentation authentique de la frontière américaine et leur exploration approfondie des personnages qui l'ont habitée. Short a habilement capturé le drame inhérent, les complexités éthiques et les réalités brutes de la vie en marge de la civilisation. Ses œuvres offrent un mélange convaincant d'action et d'aventure, tout en abordant des thèmes persistants de justice et de la condition humaine.
