Dominic Knight

    Dominic Knight s'est fait connaître en tant que cofondateur du journal satirique The Chaser, où il a perfectionné son esprit vif et sa sensibilité ironique. Après la dissolution de la publication, il a poursuivi divers projets satiriques, mais a progressivement orienté son attention vers la fiction. Ses romans, souvent inspirés par son expérience personnelle, explorent des thèmes de désillusion et de politique avec son mélange caractéristique de sarcasme et d'observation perspicace. La voix distinctive de Knight offre une perspective nouvelle sur les enjeux sociétaux contemporains.
