Audrey Thomas McCluskey

    Audrey Thomas es celebrada por su aguda perspicacia en las complejidades de la vida de las mujeres, esforzándose a menudo por iluminar la brecha entre hombres y mujeres y fomentar una conexión entre las mujeres y sus cuerpos. Su estilo distintivo se caracteriza por un juego con el lenguaje, empleando juegos de palabras, etimologías y dobles sentidos para subrayar las ironías y ambigüedades inherentes a las palabras. Esta meticulosa atención al lenguaje revela el acto mismo de escribir y las complejidades de la comunicación humana. Las narrativas de Thomas se enriquecen además con una gran cantidad de alusiones literarias, que van desde Shakespeare hasta la Biblia.
