Jo-Ann Mapson

    Jo-Ann Mapson ist eine Autorin, die tief in das Leben des amerikanischen Südwestens eintaucht. In ihren Schriften erforscht sie die komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Menschen und Landschaft und erhebt die Umgebung oft zur vollwertigen Figur. Mapson verleiht ihren Erzählungen ein starkes Ortsgefühl, das auf persönlichen Erfahrungen in Kalifornien und Arizona beruht. Ihr literarischer Ansatz betont die Notwendigkeit, dem Prozess zu vertrauen, ähnlich wie sie es beim Reiten lernte, und sich der Bewegung der Geschichte hinzugeben.
