Dominic Knight

    Dominic Knight wurde als Mitbegründer der satirischen Zeitung The Chaser bekannt, wo er seinen scharfen Witz und seine ironische Sensibilität entwickelte. Nach der Auflösung der Zeitung setzte er seine Arbeit an verschiedenen satirischen Projekten fort, verlagerte seinen Fokus aber nach und nach auf die Belletristik. Seine Romane, die oft von persönlichen Erfahrungen inspiriert sind, untersuchen Themen wie Desillusionierung und Politik mit seiner charakteristischen Mischung aus Sarkasmus und scharfer Beobachtungsgabe. Knights unverwechselbare Stimme bietet eine frische Perspektive auf zeitgenössische gesellschaftliche Themen.
