    14 de mayo de 1947

    Este autor extrae su inspiración de viajes extensos y raíces profundas, a menudo ambientadas en el Medio Oeste de Estados Unidos. Su obra se mueve con fluidez entre la ficción y la no ficción, frecuentemente imbuida de un sentido del pasado y una aguda observación. El proceso creativo comienza en diarios meticulosamente escritos a mano, enriquecidos con acuarelas y collage, que reflejan una perspectiva única del mundo explorado.
