Mitch Cullin

    23 mars 1968

    Mitch Cullin est un écrivain américain dont les œuvres se caractérisent par une profonde perspicacité de la psyché humaine et des relations interpersonnelles complexes. Sa prose est souvent décrite comme poétique et introspective, explorant les thèmes de l'identité, de la mémoire et de la quête de sens. Le style unique de Cullin réside dans ses phrases soigneusement élaborées et ses images évocatrices, qui entraînent le lecteur dans le monde intérieur de ses personnages. Sa capacité à capturer les subtiles nuances des émotions et des pressions sociales en fait un auteur à la voix distincte et inimitable.

      In a story which is at times suspenseful, darkly surreal, and often humorous, Jeliza-Rose drifts from the harsh reality of her childhood, escaping into the fantasies of her own active imagination where fireflies have names, bog men awaken at dusk, monster sharks swim down railroad tracks, and disembodied Barbie heads share in her adventures.Set among grassy fields, alongside an abandoned quarry, in dim bedrooms and mesquite-shaded trails, Tideland illuminates those moments when the fantastic emerges from seemingly common occurrences and lives -- and a lonely child discovers magic and danger behind even the most mundane of events.
