Ann Patchett

Forfatterbiografi

Ann Patchett (født 2. december 1963 i Los Angeles, USA) er en amerikansk forfatter, som især er kendt for romaner, der skildrer menneskelige relationer og livets moralske og følelsesmæssige kompleksitet. Hendes prosa bevæger sig ofte i spændingsfeltet mellem det intime og det episk udstrakte, hvor familier, fællesskaber og historiske tilfældigheder former personernes muligheder og fortrydelser. Patchetts gennembrud og internationale gennembrud står stærkt i forbindelse med Bel Canto, en roman der modtog både PEN/Faulkner Award og Orange Prize for Fiction. Hun har siden skrevet en række andre romaner, herunder Commonwealth, Run, State of Wonder og The Dutch House. The Dutch House blev udgivet som en moderne, læselyst-skabt udgave i serien A Read with Jenna Pick. Romanen blev også fremhævet som finalekandidat til Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Patchett har modtaget flere store hædersbevisninger, og hendes betydning for litteraturen understreges af, at hun både anerkendes nationalt og internationalt for sin fortællekunst, sin nære karaktertegning og sin evne til at give store temaer et præcist menneskeligt udtryk.
